Swan, swan, hummingbird, hurrah, we're all free now
What noisy cats are we, girl and dog he bore his cross
Swan, swan, hummingbird, hurrah, we are all free now
Long, low time ago, people talked 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 chain,
Some toothpicks?
Night wings, her hair chains, here's your wooden greenback, sing
Wooden beams and dovetails sweep,
I struck that picture ninety times,
I walked that path a hundred ninety, long, low time ago,
People talked to me...
pistol hot cup of brine, 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 chain, some toothpicks?
Night wings, her hair chains, swan, swan, hummingbird
Hurrah, we're all free now, what noisy cats are we
Long, low time ago, people talked to me
pistol hot cup of brine, the whiskey is water,
The water is... wine.
