[Verse 1]
Well I once knew a Pirate named BOB
B-O-B Bob was a drunken old Slob
B-O-B Bob, 'bout as dumb as a rock
But Bob
He made it to the top

[Chorus]
He said: You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You have your lemons and I'll have my lime
Funny we all act like monkeys sometimes
So you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine
I'll Swing from mine

[Verse 2]
He said I'd rather make love than war
And I'd rather have millions than to ever be poor
But I'd rather be happy than to have anymore
Guess I'm.... a lil tangled in the vine

[Chorus][2x]
Oh, You swing from your tree
And I'll swing from mine
You have your lemons and I'll have my lime
Funny we all act like monkeys sometimes
So you swing from your tree and I'll swing from mine
I'll Swing from mine

[Outro]
We'll all be happy sometimes
And we'll all be happy sometimes

Willie Hugh Nelson (April 29, 1933) is a singer-songwriter and musician. He was born in Abbott, TX and raised by his grandparents during the great Depression.

He achieved some success in the early 60’s as a crooner, a la Bobby Darin, but turned away from popular music to Country in the late 60s. His albums Shotgun Willie (1973), Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978) made him one of the most recognized artists in country music.

Nelson has released over 70 studio and live albums in his career, and still records and performs today.
