Way low down in the cedar swamp,
There I met my pretty little miss,
Blue -eyed girl is mad at me,
black -eyed girl won't have me
For I married that cross -eyed gal,
Swing a lady up and down,
Swing a lady up and down,
Older she gets, prettier she gets,
Makes me work all through the
week and get stone foot on
Swing a lady up and down,
Swing a lady up and down,
Built my love a big fine house,
Put her in and she jumped out,
Swing a lady up and down,
Swing a lady up and down,
Way low down in the cedar swamp,
There I met my pretty little miss,
Swing a lady up and down,
Swing a lady up and down, swing a lady home
