Swing, she sprung down from a Tree this spring On a rope of white mercy with a Bell to ring Yeah, she swung down to my World hung down on a string Her jaw fell open with a gaping Sound And her pipes of white mercy Tried to blow me down And the horns all blast me down When she speaks my name Swing. She ring rattled in a Randy way When she woke me one morning On a Saturday And a chain fell around my head Bells, baubles and pearls Then she pulled open all the Organ stops And the waves were black now
With the purple tops And a chord of old mercy blew From her face like rain She's my only mistress Ring now, ding dang, bells of the World Swing! She swung down on a red Iron hook In a robe of lime sequins and Bells she took All the charms that could jail my World among weapons and Greed Then the child angels that made Up her train Tried to pull my skull open as She drove my brain To the point of white mercy she Became all the baubles and Pearls, bells, baubles and Beads, all the love that i need
