Lyrics:
Swinging, swinging, swinging away,
Where the birds sing sweet all day,
'Neath the old maple tree, swinging so light and free,
Down in the old shady dell.
Swinging, swinging, swinging away,
Swinging, swinging, swinging all day.
Come and go with me love, down to the shady grove,
Place that we all love so well.
Come to the woodland, come to the stream,
Come where life seems like a dream,
Come fly with me, come by the lea,
List to the songs that I sing you.
Only to be alone love with thee,
Only to sit 'neath the old maple tree.
Only to hear you speak, only to kiss your cheek,
Place that we all love so well.
Swinging, swinging, swinging away,
Where the birds sing sweet all day,
'Neath the old maple tree, swinging so light and free,
Down in the old shady dell,
Waiting your footsteps, coming o'er the hill,
Waiting to meet you, down by the mill,
Patiently waiting to see your sweet smiles,
Kisses caresses, love all the while.
Swinging, swinging, swinging away,
Where the birds sing sweet all day,
'Neath the old maple tree, swinging so light and free,
Down in the old shady dell.
One sheet music cover lists the composer as “Charles A. Davies”, but inside the music is attributed to Davis.
