Swing High Swing Low Lyrics

(Jimmy Driftwood)

Grandpa used to work all day to make a little money
Then climbed on a load of hay and go to see his Honey

Swing high, swing low with a do – si – do – si – do
We will dance in June in the light of the moon
On the banks of the Buffalo

Swing high, swing low, don’t forget swing Grandma
We will dance Old Joe with a hi – de – ho
In the hills of Arkansas

Hear the banjos ring, molly young folks sing
And the fiddler plays a wait
Swing your partner tight, if it takes all night
Till break of day

Swing high, swing low with a do – si – do – si – do
We will dance in June by the light of the moon
On the banks of the Buffalo

Hear that mountain music play
At the Ozark Mountain Tango
Salute your gal and fly away in Arkansas Fandango

Swing high, swing low with a do – si – do – si – do
We will dance in June by the light of the moon
On the banks of the Buffalo

Swing high, swing low, don’t forget swing Grandma
We will dance Old Joe with a hi – de – ho
In the hills of Arkansas

Hear the banjos ring, molly young folks sing
And the fiddler plays a wait
Swing your partner tight, if it takes all night
Till break of day

Swing high, swing low with a do – si – do – si – do
We will dance in June by the light of the moon
On the banks of the Buffalo
