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's song time
The banjo strummin'
Soft and low
I know that you
Yearn for me too
Swanee
You're callin' me
Ah ah ah
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...
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!
Ah ah ah
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...
Waiting for me
Praying for me
Down hy the Swanee
The folks up north
Will see me no more
When I get to
That Swanee shore!...
