I'll Go Down Swinging Composer(s): Bill Anderson First release by: Porter Wagoner Covered by multiple other artists
The one I love don't want me hangin' 'round All she does is put me on and put me down Tonight she's with a stranger at a party in her home And I'm here at the tavern gettin' stoned
'Cause if I gotta go, I'll go down swingin' Where there's lights and laughter, booze and blonds And lots of sad, sad singin' I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know At least I'll go down swingin' What a swingin' way to go
I'll dance with all the girls and buy the wine Play the jukebox till I'm down to my last dime She thinks she made a fool of me by lovin' someone else She should see me make a fool out of myself
'Cause if I gotta go, I'll go down swingin' Where there's lights and laughter, booze and blonds And lots of sad, sad singin' I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know At least I'll go down swingin' What a swingin' way to go
