I'll Go Down Swinging Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

The one I love don't want me hanging 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 a tavern gettin' stoned 

Cause if I gotta go I'll go down swinging 

Where there's lights and laughter booze and blonds and a lot of sad sad singing 

I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know 

At least I'll go down swinging what a swinging way to go 

[ el.banjo ] 

I 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 loving someone else 

She should see me make a fool out of myself 

Cause if I gotta go...
