Del Shannon - Swiss Maid Lyrics

R.I.P Del Shannon. I Love this song swissmaid

The 92 people who do not like this song must be dead from the neck up!

A superb record by the incomparable Del Shannon. He had many big hits. His music will never die! The pop music of today with rap and other dire forms of music will be buried and forgotten.

We were spoilt with all the great singers of the late 50s early 60s. Todays so called stars haven't a hope.

Brll rest peace dell

Love del and this song

Roger Miller does a nice rendition also.

Fantastic song . Fantastic singer

Played the 45 till it became white.

it doesn't get much better then this !

The more I listen to this the realization It's the Drummer that points me to liking it.

This is my best friend's favourite song. First time I have ever heard it and can't believe he's gone. 😔

I heard this song about three times on a radio here in the US in late 1962 where it did poorly. It did very well on the UK charts.

Another great record from Del Shannon. He had a fantastic voice. He’ll never be forgotten!

Loved Del Shannon

I used to roller skate to this record at granby halls leicester

Absolutely fantastic.

Showing the youngsters how to sing a song

wheres the solos its all one level thank dog for the beatles

when my husband came home drunk from the pub he said get in the kitchen, ur nothing but my slave and "maid"
I told the bast@rd it is obvious he didn't know what to do with me in the bedroom.he's my ex now.

Why do they always talk about "female intuition" when so many women marry pricks?

Did he click his heels on his way out and shout Freedom At Last.

What's this got to with anything

Did he yodel

Wasn't we the lucky ones . them days will never return.

Too true xx

One of my favourites of Del Shannon....met such a tragic end

My oldest sister bought me this record and Susan maughns Bobbie's girl.the beginning of my Very own collection of oldies.cant beat the 50s & 60s so lucky to have been at the right age.every record has a meaning.

So true Christina nothing like it.

i will love you till i die

Another smash Hit For the Great Del Shannon from 1962

One of Dells best. Real sad he is gone.

Don't make songs like this anymore :-(

Love it

Del put Yodeling in charts, Awesome.

Yes along with Frank Ifield who was in the charts the same year as this song was with "She Taught Me how To Yodel"

GONE,BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Great singer. Committed suicide on his 50th birthday.

Love all those 50s songs. Love

I like to think the Swiss maid found love.

Why did he have to shot himself

U tell me

Takes me back to when a few of us used to go to a cafe at the top of the street and listen to this on the juke box. Happy days

timeless lovely

ahhhhh,the bumper bar song lol

Always liked this one and never understood why it didn't chart higher here in the states. Roger Miller wrote it and his version did even less on the charts.

Another one of my forgotten favorite songs from Del, last time I heard this was in (75) IMO his best, thanks for posting with the pics. awesome....

The sound on this track has always been haunting to me right from a little boy. I loved it. An absolutely wonderful recording, everything about it is perfect. A genius of its time, and the best version.

One of His best ever singles to come out of 1962 as it had topped some of the other charts around the world

Got to No. 4 in Melbourne, but it's my least favourite Shannon record.

I love the song and the background music.

That picture looks suspiciously like Julie Andrews in the Sound of music !

There is another version sung by Frank Ifield, but I prefer this.

Do you know any details like this about Sammy Turner's sessions with Big Top records? Like backup singers, musicians...Phil Spector says he played guitar on "Lavender Blue"

Thanks...I've always been interested in Sammy and the Big Top label in general. He gave them their first big hit with LB.

Try Roger Miller's version....

Del was great

Hey Lloyd,work on the way you express yourself.Its like me sayin, Lloyd Dutch Smiley , is a shallow, fake, self centered, what to be name. I could have just said your name is a joke. GWF, Texas

Always liked Del Shannon, shame he shot himself :(

I had heard that, but I dont personally think there is much evidence to support that.

Are you implying he may have been murdered?

How odd, you get the impression he had some sort of mental breakdown.

Any evidence to back that up?

Google it....It's true.

very nice song

Great, thx for sharing

I haven't heard this since I was a child but still remembered every word lol

R I P DEL

Written by the "King of the Road" Roger Miller.great song!!.

Roger had an earlier recording of this

I wish I could have attended a Del Shannon concert. At the time I was stuck on the farm milking cows twice a day.

I did both times he came through Nebraska(Omaha & Grand Island) he did not dissapoint! after seeing some oldie performers struggle, Del was still at the top of his game,..

I did once at the Odeon in Leeds u.k.

Nice song.

Beautiful song and great story. No one can do it like Del.

songs like this never leave you!

Hear the words of the icena Queen

Boudicca war die Königin des Icena Stammes während die Römer Britannien besetzt hielten, weil die Römer gnadenlos Steuern eintrieben mordeten und ihre Töchter vergewaltigten began sie einen verheerenden Krieg gegen die Römer, mehrere römische Garnisonen und Städte wurden dem Erdboden gleichgemacht und alle! Römer getötet.

Die briten gedenken ihrer bis heute.

Das bezog sich auf den Kommentar von boudicca1949
