Swan Swan H

Swan, swan, hummingbird, hurrah

We are all free now

What noisy cats are we

Girl and dog, he bore his cross

Swan, swan, hummingbird, hurrah

We are all free now

A long, low time ago

People talk to me

Johnny Reb, what's the price of fans

Forty apiece or three for one dollar

Hey, captain, don't you want to buy

Some bone chains and toothpicks

Night wings, or hair chains?

Here's your wooden greenback, sing

Wooden beams and dovetail sweep

I struck that picture ninety times

I walked that path a hundred ninety

Long, low time ago

People talk to me

A pistol hot, cup of rhyme

The whiskey is water, the water is wine

Marching feet, Johnny Reb

What's the price of heroes?

Six and one, half dozen the other

Tell that to the captain's mother

Hey, captain, don't you want to buy

Some bone chains and toothpicks?

Night wings, or hair chains?

Swan, swan, hummingbird, hurrah

We are all free now

What noisy cats are we

Long, low time ago, people talk to me

A pistol hot cup of rhyme

The whiskey is water, the water is wine
