[Verse 1]
Swing along, chillun, swing along the lane
Lift your head and your heels mighty high
Swing along, chillun, 'tain't-a gonna rain
Sun's as red as a rose in the sky
Come along, Mandy, come along, Sue
White folks watchin' and seein' what you do
White folks jealous when you'se walkin' two by two
So swing along, chillun, swing along

[Bridge]
Well-a swing along, yes-a swing along
And-a lift your heads up high
With pride and gladness beamin' from your eye
Well-a swing along, yes-a swing along
From-a early morn till night
Lift your head and your heels mighty high
And-a swing-a both-a lef' an' righ'

[Verse 2]
Swing along, chillun, swing along the lane
Lift your heads and your heels mighty high
Swing along, chillun, 'tain't-a gonna rain
Sun's as red as a rose in the sky
Come along, Mandy, come along, Sue
White folks watchin' and seein' what you do
White folks jealous when you'se walkin' two by two
[Outro]
Well-a swing along, yes-a swing along
From-a early morn till night
Well-a swing along, yes-a swing along
And-a swing-a both-a lef' an' right
Well-a swing along, yes-a swing along
Well-a swing along, well-a swing along
A-swing along the lane
Swing along, chillun, swing along the lane
Swing along, chillun, 'tain't-a goin' to rain
Well-a swing along, yes-a swing along
Well-a swing along, a-swing along the lane
