CEDAR SWAMP Way down low in the cedar

CEDAR SWAMP

Way down low in the cedar swamp, Water’s deep and muddy. There I met my pretty little miss, And there I kissed my honey.

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

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

Black-eyed girl is mad at me, Blue-eyed girl won’t have me. If I can’t have the one I love, I guess I’ll never marry.

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

Built my lady a fine brick house, Built it in my garden. Put her in and her jumped out, So fare you well, my darlin’.

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

The older she gets, the prettier she gets, I tell you, she’s a honey. She makes me work all through the week And get stove wood on Sunday.

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