AS they sang on the clouds up on high"
Fair Mabel, now, is just thirteen, slender
little maid,
Her blue eyes shine with fun and Joy so
bright;
Her golden curls fly round her as she swings
beneath the tree,
Her silvery laugh rings out in wild delight;
And, Rob, lad just past sixteen, is swinging
to and fro,
And n ow he sends his precious burden far out
toward the sky;
"Tll catch you if you'll jump, dear Mabel"
but she answers him,
81 will If you will swing me way up highl"
CHORUS
maiden fair, just past eighteen, with blue
and pensive eyes,
Is swinging as she sings "My love is true,''

Mabel, don't re fuse"
