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 want to be
 The birds are singing it is song time
 The banjo's strumming soft and low
 I know that you
 Yearn for me too
 Swannee, you're calling me
 Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
 My dear old Swanee
 I give the world to be
 Among the folks in D-I-X-I-
 Even though 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 give the world to be
 Among the folks in D-I-X-I-
 Even though 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
