Swanee

I've been away from you a long time

I never thought I'd miss you so

Somehow I feel

Your love is real

 Near you I wanna be

The birds are singing, it is song time

The banjos 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 ol' Swanee

I'd give the world to be

Among the folks in

D-I-X-I-E-ven no

My mammy's

Waiting for me

Praying for me

Down by the Swanee

The folks up north won't see me no more

When I get to that Swanee Shore!

Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home!

Swanee!

How I love you, how I love you!

My dear ol' Swanee

I'd give the world to be

Among the folks in

D-I-X-I-E-ven no

My mammy's

Waiting for me

Praying for me

Down by the Swanee

The folks up north won't see me no more

When I get to that Swanee Shore!
