Also recorded by:
David Hughes - 1950
When the swallows nest again
In springtime down the lane
With daffodils and violets blue
And birds all sing their song of spring
I'm coming back to you
When the swallows nest again
You'll hear love's sweet refrain
And maybe find a bluebird too
Beside the stream we'll sit and dream
And dreams will all come true
Bluebells will peal for us all
A happy wedding chime
Primroses weave a gold ring
To join us for all time
When the swallows nest again
We'll build in love domain
To keep out winter snow and rain
A little home in which to rest
Till swallows nest again.
When the winter snow was falling
To a little homestead came
This fond message from a lover
Far away across the main
(Musical Break)
Bluebells will peal for us all
A happy wedding chime
Primroses weave a gold ring
To join us for all time
When the swallows nest again
We'll build in love domain
To keep out winter snow and rain
A little home in which to rest
Till swallows nest again.

(Jack Stevens, Tolchard Evans)
When the swallows nest again
In springtime down the lane
All the world is young and new
When songbirds sing their song of spring
I'm coming home to you
When the swallows nest again
You'll hear a sweet refrain
My melody of love for you
Beside the stream we'll sit and dream
Just like we used to do
I'll take you into my arms
Beneath the moon above
I'll hold you close to my heart
And kiss the lips I love
When the swallows nest again
We'll build in lovers' lane
To keep out winter snow and rain
A little home where we can rest
Till swallows nest again
I'll take you into my arms
Beneath the moon above
I'll hold you close to my heart
And kiss the lips I love
When the swallows nest again
We'll build in lovers' lane
To keep out winter snow and rain
A little home where we can rest
Till swallows nest again
