American Old Time Song Lyrics: 07 See Saw

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 7

SEE-SAW.

See-saw, see-saw, now we're up or down;
See-saw, see-saw, now we're off to London town;
See-saw, see-saw, boys and girls come out to play
See-saw, see-saw, on this our half holiday.

Oh I what fun, boys, a race to run, boys,
While each bright girl makes a hoop twirl;
Fly the kite high in the clear sky,
Light as hearts gay on this our holiday.
oh! then shout with joy, your hearts' delight.
Each boy and girl, with all your might;
For now from school to-day we're free,
And we're as gay, as gay can be.

There's Polly and Johnny, and Kittie and Jane,
All running to get on the see-saw again;
But Polly and Sally already are there,
And swinging the see-saw high up in the air.
Then come, boys, girls, and all join hands around.
And merrily skip with delight oYr the ground;
Such frolicsome games ne'er before have been seen
As we'll have to-day on the old village green.

11 a. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, what fun I
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, what funt
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Hear our merry voices ring,
Thro' wood and meadow, as we sing;
Life's bright sunshine o'er us beams.
Our world is a land of dreams.
