Swing It On Home

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I wished I was an Elp

Hanging from a tree

Now! All the sweet little men, preaching out to me

Now I'm swingin on home

Mama's swingin on home

Big Mama running on home

Big Mama- is gonna marry you someday

Listen everybody!

What I got to say!

Hope that when you hear this record

I'll be in your home someday

Now I'm swingin on home

Mama's swingin on home

Big Mama swinging on home

Big Mama- is gonna marry you someday

Last year you bought a horse

This year you knew it

Told me that it was going back home to

Get married to Jude.

Now I'm swingin on home

Mama's swingin on home

Big Mama swinging on home

Big Mama- is gonna marry you someday

We don't pick no cotton!

Not even tomatoes!

All that we plant in my hometown is

Candy and potatoes!

Now I'm swingin on home

Mama's swingin on home

Big Mama swinging on home

Big Mama- is gonna marry you someday

Hey Everybody!

Hope you like how we play!

When you see your buddie dies-

this is what he says:

Now I'm swingin on home

Mama's swingin on home

Big Mama swung on home

Big Mama- is gonna marry you someday

Now I'm swingin on home

Mama's running on home

Big Mama swinging on home

Big Mama- is gonna marry you someday
