Hammock Love Song 1909 'The Beauty Spot'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 16 May 2005

Sunset fading in the glorious West
and twilight shadows falling,
the nightingale now leaves his feathery nest
and to his mate is calling.
Love in ev'ry heart inspiring,
Oh, minstrel of the skies above
pour out your song the summer night long,
let your note be mine and sing of Love.
Join your note with mine
while singing to my love.

Swinging all thro' the summer night long,
gently to and fro,
singing a little summer time song
as up and down we go.
Swinging beneath the silvery moon
shining down below,
singing while I'm swinging to a lullaby tune,
Oh I love you so.

Swinging all thro' the summer night long,
gently to and fro,
singing a little summer time song
as up and down we go.
Swinging beneath the silvery moon
shining down below,
singing while I'm swinging to a lullaby tune,
Oh I love you so.

When the moon is high.
Oh! Queen of night
'tis lover's hour for spooning.
Then lips and hearts respond in sweet delight
a fervid love song crooning.
Sweet Love in our hearts inspiring.
A stanza fair of lover's rhyme
pour out your song the summer night long.
With our hammock swinging all the time.
Hammocks swinging gently
while our hearts keep time.

Swinging all thro' the summer night long,
gently to and fro,
singing a little summer time song
as up and down we go.
Swinging beneath the silvery moon
shining down below,
singing while I'm swinging to a lullaby tune,
Oh I love you so.

Swinging all thro' the summer night long,
gently to and fro,
singing a little summer time song
as up and down we go.
Swinging beneath the silvery moon
shining down below,
singing while I'm swinging to a lullaby tune,
Oh I love you so.
