[00:00:00] They Covered Up the Old Swimmin' Hole - Bobby Bare

[00:00:02] Written by：Jack Clemen

[00:00:05] Boring through the mountains by passing the towns

[00:00:09] Interstate 90 is a sight to behold

[00:00:15] But that monument to progress and engineering skill

[00:00:20] Has covered up the old swimmin' hole

[00:00:26] Thirty feet straight up from where the old hole stood

[00:00:31] They sell twenty kinds of icecream and the food is good

[00:00:38] But it never can compare with the food for the soul

[00:00:43] You could get for a dip in the old swimmin' hole

[00:00:49] Oh the old swimmin' hole her cool waters ran deep

[00:00:55] Felt good to a boy with mud on his feet

[00:01:01] And I'm wishing these days I could strip to my soul

[00:01:06] And go for a dip in the old swimmin' hole

[00:01:19] A symbol of our great and affluent society

[00:01:26] Interstate 90 fulfillment of our goals

[00:01:31] But that masterpiece of human ingenuity

[00:01:36] Has covered up the old swimmin' hole

[00:01:42] Gone the wooden schoolhouse the old country store

[00:01:48] The winding dirt road that's winding no more

[00:01:54] And the old swimmin' hole hears the sound of speeding wheels

[00:01:58] Entombed beneath a blanket of concrete and steel

[00:02:05] Oh the old swimmin' hole her cool waters ran deep

[00:02:11] Felt good to a boy with mud on his feet

[00:02:17] And I'm wishing these days I could strip to my soul

[00:02:22] And go for a dip in the old swimmin' hole
