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 strummin' soft and low.

I know that you yearn for me too,

Swanee you're calling me.

Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya

My dear old Swanee

I'd give the world to be

Among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my

Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me

Down by the Swanee

The folks up North will see me no more

When I get to the Swanee shore.

Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee.

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

I love your Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya

my dear old swanee I'd give the world if I could only be

sitting on my Mammy's knee I love the old folks I love

the young folks oh my honey lamb and you left'em all in Allabamy

Mammy, Mammy my dear old Mammy your wonder child will wonder

no more when I getr to that Swanee Shore!
