Till The Swelling Goes Down Lyrics - Singles - Don Maclean

A long, long time ago, 

I was a carefree guy 

but now i just wanna hurt somebody 

when the levee is dry 

I told you that i'm sorry, baby 

so get up off the the ground 

put some ice on that, darling, till the swelling goes down 

People, you weren't there, 

so you didnt see 

the way she was laughing, 

she was laughing at me 

i'm a folksinging legend, 

not some bitter old clown- 

put some ice on that, darling, till the swelling goes down
