Swanee
I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel
Your love was real
Near you I long to be
The birds are singing, it is song time
The banjo's strumming soft and low
I know that you
Yearn for me too
Swanee, you're calling me
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I
Even though my mammy's waiting
Praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore
Swanee, Swanee
I'm coming back to Swanee
Oh Mammy, little Mammy
I love the old folks at home
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I
Even though my mammy's
Well she's waiting for me
Needs me, desires me down
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee
Yes when I go to the Swanee shore
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel
Your love was real
Near you I long to be
The birds are singing, it is song time
The banjo's strumming soft and low
I know that you
Yearn for me too
Swanee, you're calling me
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I
Even though my mammy's waiting
Praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore
Swanee, Swanee
I'm coming back to Swanee
Oh Mammy, little Mammy
I love the old folks at home
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I
Even though my mammy's
Well she's waiting for me
Needs me, desires me down
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee
Yes when I go to the Swanee shore
