Swing Until the Rope Breaks

We gonna swing, swing, swing,

Swing until the rope breaks

Swing, swing, swing,

Swing until the rope breaks

No reprieve, no parole

God rest my weary soul

We gonna swing, swing, swing,

Swing until the rope breaks.

Born to lose by your rules

Mama didn’t raise me no fool

Slanted table and a curly cue

Loaded dice, well there ain't no use

Gonna play it by my rules, win or lose.

Then we gonna swing, swing, swing

Swing until the rope breaks

Don’t provoke me don’t deceive me

Or you’ll be the one to free me

We gonna swing, swing, swing

Swing until the rope breaks.

Me and baby we been good

Got us all the credit that we could

You got our address if you want to sue

But we’ll be gone went the rent is due

Sixty day lease on life and then we’re through.

Then We gonna swing, swing, swing

Swing until the rope breaks.

Four bald tires, no good breaks

A little nudge is all it takes,

We gonna swing, swing, swing

Swing until the rope breaks.

Life can be so sweet, when the ground don’t touch your feet

Let’s pretend you are me, oh the sights you might see;

Born again under the circus tent

Dipped in the well and while your back is bent

Preacher gonna teach you the kinda donation the lord beseech you.

We gonna swing, swing, swing

Swing until the rope breaks

Here’s a clue to the brotherhood

God alone loves a pecker-wood

We gonna swing, swing, swing

Swing until the rope breaks
