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!
