This was the song, me and my brother played every Friday evening before we went out. It was the song I chose at his funeral. An epitaph indeed.

I thought of having the same tune for my funeral. I feel sorry for your loss. I just thought of then I saw your comment. Life is strange. I just want to be happy again.

@@Dreijer94 Me too. Just wanting to feel happy once again. I played my harmonica to this song 42 years ago when I lived over a 40-horse stable. And more recently, as broken- hag roadkill..I have sung it to myself on walks. It is a fantastic song. Just always loved it and the McGarrigle Sisters. Hope the world will get well, and that you will be happy again. Love, s

One of my favorite folk songs of all time. I remember hearing it on some random radio station in 2011 and I immediately looked it up. God what a great track

About once a year I discover that Jimmy Fallon has another talent of which I was not aware. He is ridiculously talented.

The Swimming Song was written by Loudon Wainwright III, released in 1973 off his album "Attempted Mustache" . Jimmy does a great cover. For one with a bit more drive, there's a You Tube only version by the Avett Brothers.

I have that album! My brother was a big Loudon fan and introduced me to him. I ended up buying most of his albums myself!

The first time I heard this song, it was a version by Randy Scruggs. I always hold everyone to his standards. Jimmy Fallon did a great job!

@PhilBaird1 3 жыл бұрын

The perfect tribute from Jimmy and he captures the song so well. Like most of Loudon's deceptively funny songs there's a deeper meaning in there. To me it's a happy-sad song about the the joy, innocence and foolishness of childhood, presaging the selfish destructive adult to come. I think Kate would have enjoyed this, and perhaps even shed a tear.

If I had to judge Jimmy Fallon on only this one snapshot out of everything else I have seen or heard from him, I would give him a gold star.
