Promises up and down (6)

I believe the answer is:

swears

(Other definitions for swears that I've seen before include "Blinds" , "Takes oath or utters imprecation (6)" , "Quite (mus.); a female voice" , "Curses or pledges" , "Takes oath or curses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
