Swanee

I've been away from you a long time I never thought I'd missed you so Somehow I feel your love is real Near you, I wanna be The birds are singin', it is song time The banjos strummin' 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'd give the world to be among the folks in DIX, I even know My mammy's waiting for me, praying for me down by the Swanee The folks up North will see me no more When I get to that Swanee Shore I love the old folks at home Swanee, how I love you, how I love you My dear old Swanee I'd give the world to be among the folks in DIX, I even know My mammy's waiting for me, praying for me down by the Swanee The folks up North will see me no more When I get to that Swanee Shore
