John McCutcheon Swimming Hole Lyrics

[Verse]
In the morning at the city gym
In the evening at the neighborhood school
Down the road at the old farm pond
Up the street at the community pool

[Chorus]
Hey-ho, come on let's go
Down yonder to the swimming hole
Cool, cool waters gonna rest your soul
Down at the swimming hole
Down at the swimming hole

[Verse]
It's a pond with a muddy bank
It's the creek with a big flat rock
It's a sprinkler in your own front yard
And it's the "Y" in the middle of the block

[Chorus]
Hey-ho, come on let's go
Down yonder to the swimming hole
Cool, cool waters gonna rest your soul
Down at the swimming hole
Down at the swimming hole

[Bridge] In the city with thе hydrants flowing
On the mountain where thе rain falls hard
Feel the shiver when the wind starts blowing
Past the wading pool in your back yard

[Verse]
It's a lake where the dirt road ends
It's the ocean where the big waves roll
It's a river that twists and bends
Like your memories of the old swimming hole

[Chorus 2x]
Hey-ho, come on let's go
Down yonder to the swimming hole
Cool, cool waters gonna rest your soul
Down at the swimming hole
Down at the swimming hole
Hey-ho, come on let's go
Down yonder to the swimming hole
Cool, cool waters gonna rest your soul
Down at the swimming hole
Down at the swimming hole
