Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. Sweetheart out a-hunting on a long summer day,
Sweetheart out a-hunting on a long summer day.
Refrain
Swing Eliza, swing her, on a long summer day,
Swing Eliza, swing her, on a long summer day.
2. Where will he find her on a long summer day?… Refrain
3. Go ahead and find her on a long summer day… Refrain
4. Walk and talk together on a long summer day… Refrain
