Swan, swan, hummingbird
Hurrah, we are all free now
What noisy cats are we

Girl and dog he bore his cross
A long, low time ago, people talk to me

Johnny Reb what´s the price of fans
Forty a piece or three for one dollar ?
Hey captain don´t you want to buy
Some bone chains and toothpicks ?

Night wings, her 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, her 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
