"The Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp" - O. C. Smith
I remember this from my childhood, but until recently, never realised it was about family life, where the mother turned to prostitution to support her family after her husband abandoned her and the large family. |

this is always so subjective. On these threads people mention writers or lyrics that I think are mediocre at best and utter shite at worst, no doubt other people think the same way about what I would suggest [they are wrong obviously as my taste is perfect  ].
Anyway, there are many lyricists who have come up with amazing words, Dylan, Young, Springsteen, Seger, Henley and many, many others. Most writers have one set in them, these I mention have many

If we want lyrics about swinging how about
Blur Stereotypes, Damon is king of the rhyming couplet
Wife swapping is your future
You know that it would suit yer
And end of a century
The mind gets dirty
As you get closer to thirty
(Being young at the time little did Damon know how much dirtier it gets at forty and fifty- see the age of most here!)
