Old Porch Swing

In the style of

Gene Watson

Lyrics

it's hung there on
the front porch
since this old
house was built

it's where the
old men whittled
and the women
pieced their quilts

it's held four
generations
through whatever
life could bring

that old swing
that old
porch swing

it held the
grieving widow
when my daddy's
daddy died

and now it
rocks my children
when they close
their sleepy eyes

it's where i
popped the question
with a quarter
carat ring

that old swing
that old
porch swing

it's been there
through the sunshine
it's had its
share of rain

been a witness to
some good times
and a like
amount of pain

if it could tell
its stories
what a ballad
it could sing

that old swing
that old
porch swing

it's where brother
read the letter
that sent him
off to war

we knew he had
to go and fight
but we didn't
know what for

when he came
home he just
sat there

and he never
said a thing
in that swing
that old porch swing

it's been there
through the sunshine
it's had its
share of rain

been a witness
to some good times
and a like
amount of pain

if it could
tell its stories
what a ballad
it could sing

that old swing
that old porch swing
that old swing
that old porch swing
