Old Porch Swing lyrics

PLAY GENE WATSON Old Porch Swing video It`s hung there on the front porch
Since this old house was built
It`s where the old men whittle
And the women fleece their quilts
It`s held four generations
Through whatever life could bring
That ol` swing
That ol` porch swing

It held a 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 karot ring
That ol` swing
That ol` porch swing

Chorus:
It`s been there through the sunshine
It`s had it`s share of rain
Been a witness to some good times
And a like amount of pain
If it could tell it`s story
What a Violin could sing
That ol` swing
That ol` 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 never said a thing
In that swing
That ol` porch swing

Chorus:
It`s been there through the sunshine
It`s had it`s share of rain
Been a witness to some good times
And a like amount of pain
If it could tell it`s story
What a Violin could sing
That ol` swing
That ol` porch swing

That ol` swing
That ol` porch swing...
