[Verse 1]
D G D
Boring through the mountains by-passing the towns

Has covered up the old swimmin' hole

Thirty feet straight up from where the old hole stood

They sell twenty kinds of icecream and the food is good
D G D
But it never can compare with the food for the soul

You could get for a dip in the old swimmin' hole
[Chorus]
G D
Oh the old swimmin' hole her cool waters ran deep
G D E7 A7
Felt good to a boy with mud on his feet

And I'm wishing these days I could strip to my soul

And go for a dip in the old swimmin' hole

The winding dirt road that's winding no more

And the old swimmin' hole hears the sound of speeding wheels

Entombed beneath a blanket of concrete and steel
