Hello Tim,
It sounds like you don't have the option to delete music on your iPad when swiping to delete.  If the song has a cloud icon to the right of it, this indicates the song is being streamed from iTunes in the Cloud. 
You can choose to hide all songs that are not downloaded on to your iPad in Settings:
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.

Alternatively, if the song was purchased from iTunes, you can hide the song by accessing the iTunes Store on the computer:
To hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."

You will need to quit and relaunch the Music app on your iPad after hiding the purchase on your computer before seeing the changes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
