about

Samuel Scott the American diver who came to a tragic end on Waterloo bridge.

lyrics

The american dream clearly died for you
Despite what they always dreamt you'd do
The fallen star made a sudden move
Eyes upon him all glazed

Mary stood there still and enjoyed the show
But you carried it all before that famous bow
Sammy was never afraid to die
Maybe he knew it was his final pint

He swayed to the rhythm of the rivers tide
And all with Mary standing on the sideline
Eyes upon them all hazed

SWING SAMMY SWING
FOR THE WORLD
FOR YOUR GIRL
SAMMY SWING

The hours had past and Mary understood
That the devils hands did all that they could
The distance made with his daredevil ways
Forgotten plans and the music fades

All he wanted was to make you laugh
But distance came with all the souls he's trapped
Now forever Waterloo will be your home
Doing the swing alone

SWING SAMMY SWING
FOR THE WORLD
FOR YOUR GIRL
SAMMY SWING
