Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Swanee

Swanee

How I love ya, how I love ya

My dear old Swanee

I’d give the world to be

Among my folks in

D-I-X-I-E-ven now my (Swanee)

People are

Waitin’ for me, prayin’ for me

Down by the Swanee

The folks up north (north)

Will see me no more

When I get to that Swanee shore

Oh, Swanee

How I love ya, how I love ya

My dear old Swanee

I’d give the world if I could only be

Among my folks in

D-I-X-I-E-ven now my (Swanee)

People are

Waitin’ for me, prayin’ for me

Down by the Swanee

The folks up north (north)

Will never (will)

Just see me no more

When I get to that Swanee (Swanee)

Well, let me get through that Swanee (Swanee)

When I cross that Swanee shore
