Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Swing Low lyrics

[Verse 1] How is little Thomas Magee? Thomas Magee, he swallowed a key Did he die, little Thomas Magee? Holly, Holly, just let him be His wife now, little Thomas Magee Called this cat on a telephone Heart was beating in my chest I'd eaten something I could not digest And the phone kept ringing There's no-one home [Verse 2] Ran to his house, rapped on the window Ooh blood was pumping much to fast Stuck my fingers through the gla** Strange music playin' on the radio Swing low, swing low Swing low, swing low Way down low and carry me home [Verse 3] Pray like Peter, preach like Paul Jesus died to save us all I climbed through the window I crawled on the floor I ripped up all the furniture But I still couldn't find what I was looking for [Verse 4] Problems that we claim as our own Cannot be solved, they must be outgrown The bottomless knowledge cannot be known The empty ring on the telephone And the strange music playin' on the radio Swing low, swing low Swing low, swing low Yea way down low and carry me home Where do you go? Where do you go? Swing low, baby, save my soul Where do you go? Where do you go? Swing low, babe, and save my soul Swing low, swing low Swing low, swing low Swing low, swing low Swing low, swing low
