Lyrics
- Summer sun is shining
Everybody blue
In the shade reclining
Roasted through and through
Winter was so fine and grand
Way down in Dixie land
But now there is only this to do
Chorus
Crank your flivver on the Swanee River
And follow the Glacier Trail
To Puget Sound, with mountains around
What a wonderful place for a sail
The sun beats down, down in Dixie in June
But up in the mountains you can cuddle and spoon
So, crank your flivver on the Swanee River
And follow the Glacier Trail
- Silvery moon is beaming
Everybody gay
Flickering camp fires gleaming
All along the way
Everybody’s touring West
Where summer time is best
And soon they will write their friends and say
Sung here by Fred Feild:
