Cedar Swamp

Way low down in the cedar swamp, waters deep and muddy

There I met my pretty little miss; there I kissed my honey.

Swing a lady up and down, swing a lady home,

Swing a lady up and down and swing a lady home.

Blue eyed girl is mad at me, brown eyed girl won’t have me,

So I’ll marry the dark-eyed girl, single life I’ll tarry.

Swing a lady up and down, swing a lady home,

Swing a lady up and down and swing a lady home.

I build my love a big strong house, I build it in the garden.

I put her in and she jumps out so fair you well my darling.

Swing a lady up and down, swing a lady home,

Swing a lady up and down and swing a lady home.

The older she gets, the prettier she gets I tell you she’s a honey.

Makes me work all through the week and get stove wood on Sunday.

Swing a lady up and down, swing a lady home,

Swing a lady up and down and swing a lady home.

Way low down in the cedar swamp, waters deep and muddy

There I met my pretty little miss; there I kissed my honey.

Swing a lady up and down, swing a lady home,

Swing a lady up and down and swing a lady home.

Swing a lady up and down, swing a lady home,

Swing a lady up and down and swing a lady home.
