Listen to the original, by Clayton McMichen's Georgia Wildcats, here

Here's my transcription

I'M GONNA LEARN TO SWING
(Clayton McMichen)

[fiddle intro]

Can't get nothing from a-old time fiddlin'
I'm a-gonna learn to swing
Ain't a-gonna waste my time a-whittlin'
It don't mean a thing

Gonna sell the farm, move to town
Buy me a horn and toot around
Hi-de-ho is what I'll play
With a razzmatazz in a swingy way

Get me a job in a great big jazz band
I'm a-gonna learn to swing
I don't give a heck about corny fiddling
It's a-drivin' me insane

I ain't no mule, I don't like corn
I'm a swinger, man, with a brand new horn
Can't get nothing from a-corny fiddling
I'm a-gonna learn to swing, hear me talking
I'm a-gonna learn to swing

[fiddle break]

Can't get nothing for my corn and guitar
I'm a-gonna learn to swing
I don't give a heck about long-haired music
It don't mean a thing

Now, I'll swing ma, and I'll swing pa
I'll swing that gal from Arkansas
I'll take a course a saxophone
It's better to me than eatin' corn pone

Get me a job with the Casa Loma
They're the king of swing
That sugar man with a seven quart trumpet
Can grease that gate and hinge

Settin' in the barnyard milkin' on a stool
Or settin' in a jazz band, gettin' on the groove
Can't get nothing from a-corny fiddling
I'm a-gonna learn to swing, hear me talking
I'm a-gonna learn to swing
