lirik lagu richard mitchley - james whitcomb riley - the old swimming hole
oh! the old swimmin’~hole! whare the crick so still and deep
looked like a baby~river that was laying half asleep
and the gurgle of the worter round the drift jest below
sounded like the laugh of something we onc’t ust to know
before we could remember anything but the eyes
of the angels lookin’ out as we left paradise;
but the merry days of youth is beyond our controle
and it’s hard to part ferever with the old swimmin’~hole
oh! the old swimmin’~hole! in the happy days of yore
when i ust to lean above it on the old sickamore
oh! it showed me a face in its warm sunny tide
that gazed back at me so gay and glorified
it made me love myself, as i leaped to caress
my shadder smilin’ up at me with sich tenderness
but them days is past and gone, and old time’s tuck his toll
from the old man come back to the old swimmin’~hole
oh! the old swimmin’~hole! in the long, lazy days
when the humdrum of school made so many run~a~ways
how plesant was the jurney down the old dusty lane
whare the tracks of our bare feet was all printed so plane
you could tell by the dent of the heel and the sole
they was lots o’ fun on hands at the old swimmin’~hole
but the lost joys is past! let your tears in sorrow roll
like the rain that ust to dapple up the old swimmin’~hole
thare the bullrushes growed, and the cattails so tall
and the sunshine and shadder fell over it all;
and it mottled the worter with amber and gold
tel the glad lilies rocked in the ripples that rolled;
and the snake~feeder’s four gauzy wings fluttered by
like the ghost of a daisy dropped out of the sky
or a wownded apple~blossom in the breeze’s controle
as it cut acrost some orchard to’rds the old swimmin’~hole
oh! the old swimmin’~hole! when i last saw the place
the scenes was all changed, like the change in my face;
the bridge of the railroad now crosses the spot
whare the old divin’~log lays sunk and fergot
and i stray down the banks whare the trees ust to be—
but never again will theyr shade shelter me!
and i wish in my sorrow i could strip to the soul
and dive off in my grave like the old swimmin’~hole
