1
How is little Thomas Magee?
2
Thomas Magee, he swallowed a key
3
Jedediah, little Thomas Magee
4
Holly, holly, just let him be
5
His wise now, little Thomas Magee
6
Called his kid on the telephone
7
Heart was beating in my chest
8
I needed something I could not digest
9
And the phone kept ringing, there's no one home
10
Ran to his house, rapped on my window, ooh
11
Blood was pumping much too fast
12
I stuck my fingers through the glass
13
Strange music playing on the radio
14
Swing low, swing low, swing low, swing low
15
Way down low and carry me home
16
Pray like Peter, preach like Paul, Jesus died to save us all
17
I climbed through the window and crawled on the floor
18
I wrecked off all the furniture
19
But I still couldn't found what I was lookin' for
20
Problems still reclaimed as a whole
21
Cannot be solved, they must be outgrown
22
The bottomless knowledge could not be known
23
The empty ring on the telephone
24
And the strange music playing on the radio
25
Swing low, swing low, swing low, swing low
26
Yeah, way down low and carry me home
27
Where you go? Where do you go?
28
Swing low, baby, save my soul
29
Where do you go? Where do you go?
30
Yeah, swing low, baby, save my soul
31
Swing low, swing low, swing low
32
Swing low, swing low, swing low
33
Swing low, swing
