Great lyrics (the ways of swinging a sickle, my, a fine idea) and marvellous recording!
Love your singing :D

I be placing this one on my "Wish I Wrote That" list.

I was listening as I read and knew something was about to happen
when the italics ended. How did you get the old record sound ?

Excellent!

Actually, I need the green smilie here, to add the touch of envy... :mrgreen:

The unaccompanied beginning was very effective, and it came across as strong and confident throughout. I liked that you provided an individual angle, with the sickle, hands and feet, etc but still clearly had a bigger theme in mind that you then booted home strongly at the finish.

Cheers,

Swing That Sickle

Don't swing that sickle low
Don't swing that sickle low
Death, be deft with your sickle
Don't wanna be a cripple
Don't swing that sickle low

Don't swing that sickle high
Don't swing that sickle high
Death, if you've come a callin'
It's time for my fallin'
I know it's time to die

Oh, Death, don't torture me
Don't take my hands my feet
My life's been long
And I wanna go strong
Into my heavenly suite

Spent a long time workin' with my hands
Spent a long time standin' on my feet
A long time saving
For the things that I'm wanting
But they'll never rescue me

Don't swing that sickle low
Don't swing that sickle low
Death, be deft with your sickle
Don't wanna be a cripple
Don't swing that sickle low

They say I can't take it with me
But I'm goin' to paradise
And the treasures of this world
Mean nothin' to the Lord
Who's promised me a prize

Don't swing that sickle high
Don't swing that sickle high
Death, if you've come a callin'
It's time for my fallin'
I know it's time to die

Oh, Death, where is your sting?
You can't take nothin' from me
I'll live forever
And I'll never be severed
From my Lord, eternally

Oh, Death won't torture me
He could take my hands my feet
My life's been long
And I'm gonna go strong
Into my heavenly suite]]> Sunday Songwriters Group contagiousjerm https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/wk32-swing-that-sickle/#post-36225
