"Sway" is a song by the Rolling Stones from their 1971 album Sticky Fingers, credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Here is my cover of it with the Yazoo Ramblers, which I posted to the channel on May 27, 2026.
It was also released as the B-side of the "Wild Horses" single in June 1971, in the US only.
Why I picked it
Sway is the long afternoons working the fields under that hot demon sun.

Song Stories is where I share the story behind each cover on Cal Carter's Yazoo Ramblers Channel. I record the covers in my garage in Milton, GA, and I put the story and the credits here. If this song means something to you, tell me about it in the YouTube comments. I'd like to hear it.
If you are new here, the playlist below has the rest of the Yazoo Ramblers covers, and my music page has them all in one place.
