Charley Noble	Lyr Req: Wal, I Swan / Giddyap Napoleon (B H Burt) (45)	RE: Lyr Req: Wal, I Swan / Giddyap Napoleon (B H Burt)	01 Nov 18
We're been singing this old chestnut in a concert of my mother's favorite folk songs and ballads for the past year. I didn't have a clue what the expression "I swan" meant, although I'd heard that it's a common expression in rural Pennsylvania. It does make sense that it's a form of "I swear" as clarified above. Thanks! Charlie Ipcar
