1. The birdies are merrily singing; And Minnie is merrily swinging; And Minnie is merrily swinging; Safe from the forest tree, ... Hangs the swing you may see; And the breeze a sweet odor is bringing, Under green leaves so free. 2 Hold tight to the ropes, little lady, ǁ All round us is pleasant and shady; ǁ And now we will not go, Where the sun scorches so, But will stay in the grove, little lady, Where the cool streamlets flow. 3 You sit the swing well I am thinking, ǁ Your eyes, as you rise, never blinking; ǁ You're brave, you little girl, But your hair's out of curl; Very soon at the glass you'll be prinking; Smoothing each glossy curl.
