Lover Please
Billy Swan Lyrics
Lover please please come back
Don't take the train coming down the track
Don't please don't please call on me
Don't leave me in misery
You were never holding me
You were never call with me
Don't you know I die for you
Now you're gone that's what I'll do
Don't take the train coming down the track
Don't please don't please call on me
Don't leave me in misery
(Instrumental)
Oh love story not too long
By the love that went all wrong
Girl loves boy all went bad
Now he's gone and she's so sad
Lover please please come back
Don't take the train coming down the track
Don't please don't please call on me
Don't leave me in misery
(Repeat)

Swan's role in the music industry was, originally, largely invisible.

Moving to Nashville allowed Swan to write hit country songs for numerous artists, including Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings, and Mel Tillis.

Moving to Nashville allowed Swan to write hit country songs for numerous artists, including Conway Twitty, Waylon Jennings, and Mel Tillis.
In 1969, Swan first took on the role of record producer, publishing Tony Joe White's Top Ten hit "Polk Salad Annie". Swan played bass guitar for Kris Kristofferson, and signed a deal with Monument Records.
Swan's first album included the popular song "I Can Help", a rockabilly number that topped both the Billboard Hot 100 and country charts in 1974. Swan recorded the song in two takes (without overdubs) with an organ that Kristofferson and singer Rita Coolidge had bought for him as a wedding gift.
However, other albums with Monument, A&M, and Epic did not have nearly the success of his first.
Swan continued to tour with Kristofferson, and has recorded two albums with Randy Meisner. As of 2005, Swan was still a back-up and session musician.
Swan was married to his late wife Marlu for 30 years. They had two daughters, recording artists Planet Swan & Sierra Swan.
Another Bill Swan is guitarist for the American band The Muffins.
