Rhyme Scheme: AAABBAA AAACCAA AAABBAAA| Swing high and swing low | A |
| While the breezes they blow | A |
| It's off for a sailor thy father would go | A |
| And it's here in the harbor in sight of the sea | B |
| He hath left his wee babe with my song and with me | B |
| Swing high and swing low | A |
| While the breezes they blow | A |
| - | |
| Swing high and swing low | A |
| While the breezes they blow | A |
| It's oh for the waiting as weary days go | A |
| And it's oh for the heartache that smiteth me when | C |
| I sing my song over and over again | C |
| Swing high and swing low | A |
| While the breezes they blow | A |
| - | |
| Swing high and swing low | A |
| The sea singeth so | A |
| And it waileth anon in its ebb and its flow | A |
| And a sleeper sleeps on to that song of the sea | B |
| Nor recketh he ever of mine or of me | B |
| Swing high and swing low | A |
| While the breezes they blow | A |
| 'T was off for a sailor thy father would go | A |
