Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

I once knew a pirate named bob
B-o-b bob was a drunken old slob
B-o-b bob was about as dumb as a rock
But bob made it to the top

[Chorus]
He said you swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You have your lemons
And I'll have my limes
Funny how we all act like monkeys sometimes
You swing from you tree
And I'll swing from mine

He said id rather make love than
I'd rather make millions then to never be bored
I'd rather be happy
Than to have anymore
Yes I'm little tangled in the vine

[Chorus]

[Repeat: x2]
You swing from your tree
And ill swing from mine
We'll all be happy sometime

[Chorus]

You have your whiskey
And ill drink my wine
You save your dollar and ill spend my dime
You swing from your tree
And ill swing from mine
We'll all be happy sometime
We'll all be happy sometime
