Story Behind the Song
Sam wrote this song way back when. Story has it that Sam hitch-hiked with a truck driver and survived an almost terrible accident after losing the brakes of the rig. Fortunately, the truck driver saved the rig and themselves by crashing the vehicle into an designated emergency area. Afterwards Sam replied, "It's not the depth of the well or the length of the rope, it's how you swing the bucket!" Those words inspired him to write this song.
Lyrics
Well listen to me girl 'cause I think I see
Well now the dress your wearin' girl, you're tantalizing me
Although I take your word 'cause it looks so good
You make my pant leg feel like ten feet of wood
But sometimes it just seems like love, there ain't no way to duck it
It's not the Depth of the Well or the length of the rope
It's how you swing the bucket
Well I may not be mister right, but you sure ain't my misses
Oh but that don't matter on a night like this is
Well drivin' in your car really sounds so fine
Take you home with me make you mine all mine
But if this was an oil well baby, I do believe that we struck it
'Cause it's not the Depth of the Well, or the length of the rope
It's how you swing the bucket
Well, step into my parlor said the spider to the fly
I don't need to tell you girl, you know the reason why
Well I look and see you there walkin' down the street
I say the length of those legs, well they can't be beat
Come some place with me girl, I'll take you some place we've never been
It's now the Depth of the Well, or the length of the rope
It's the situation you're in
It's how you swing the bucket
