about

We all gonna have to walk that path...a few days and full of trouble.

lyrics

People come and go, tie them to a rope
Give them all a dose of the swing
Well I miss my ma and I never knew my pa
But the swing

I don't wanna go to the swing
Well my mama didn't love me and my daddy didn't know nothing

Love is in the throat, Death is in the boat
Hanging from a tree in the swing
Well they're both the same, when you're dealing with the dame
In the swing

When you're gone they say the fire will keep you there
They tie that knot and wash the sins right out their hair
And no one knows the difference

C'mon Play it Man

The laws that they have made, take me to the grave
Not the last to go to the swing
Someone always find a way to break your spine
In the swing

Jesus is the ghost, the ghost I fear the most
They took his weary bones to the swing
I payed for all his crimes, he'll die a long, long time
In the swing

Coming off the floor
Closing all the doors to the swing
They changing all the rules, with a growing group of fools
With the swing

My mama didn't love me and my daddy didn't know nothing
