Swinging on the Golden Gate.
Copyright, 1884. by White, Smith & Co.

Wake me early in the morning,.
Before it is too late,
Just when the day am dawning,
To swing on the golden gate;
Sister Sue and brother Joe,
And aunt Maria thcy's gone, and so must I;
Oh, I feel that I really shall expire,
If I don't get there bye-and-bye, oh!

Refrain.
Oh, wake me shake me
Don't let me sleep too late,
I'm gwine away early in the morning,
To swing on the golden gate;
Oh, wake me! shake me!
Don't let me sleep too late,
I'm gwine away early in the morning,
To swing on the golden gate.

Ship's gwine to sail on the morrow,
Get tickets at half rate,
We'll bid good-bye to sorrow,
When swinging on the golden gate;
There will be happy meetings
And shouting, when we get there that day,
There will be no weeping or pouting,
Kase we're all gwine to feel so gay.-Refrain.
