They Covered Up the Old Swimmin' Hole - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]

Written by：Jack Clemen[00:00:02]

Boring through the mountains by passing the towns[00:00:05]

Interstate 90 is a sight to behold[00:00:09]

But that monument to progress and engineering skill[00:00:15]

Has covered up the old swimmin' hole[00:00:20]

Thirty feet straight up from where the old hole stood[00:00:26]

They sell twenty kinds of icecream and the food is good[00:00:31]

But it never can compare with the food for the soul[00:00:38]

You could get for a dip in the old swimmin' hole[00:00:43]

Oh the old swimmin' hole her cool waters ran deep[00:00:49]

Felt good to a boy with mud on his feet[00:00:55]

And I'm wishing these days I could strip to my soul[00:01:01]

And go for a dip in the old swimmin' hole[00:01:06]

A symbol of our great and affluent society[00:01:19]

Interstate 90 fulfillment of our goals[00:01:26]

But that masterpiece of human ingenuity[00:01:31]

Has covered up the old swimmin' hole[00:01:36]

Gone the wooden schoolhouse the old country store[00:01:42]

The winding dirt road that's winding no more[00:01:48]

And the old swimmin' hole hears the sound of speeding wheels[00:01:54]

Entombed beneath a blanket of concrete and steel[00:01:58]

Oh the old swimmin' hole her cool waters ran deep[00:02:05]

Felt good to a boy with mud on his feet[00:02:11]

And I'm wishing these days I could strip to my soul[00:02:17]

And go for a dip in the old swimmin' hole[00:02:22]
