Lyrics:

Way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away

There's where my heart is turning ever
There's where the old folks stay

All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam. (feeling blue)

Still a-longin' for the old plantation
And for the old folks at home

All the world is sad and dreary
Ev'rywhere I roam

Oh, how my heart heavy grows weary
Far from the old folks at home

(Oh I remember when)
All around the little farm I wander
When I was young
Then many happy days I sqaundered
Many songs I song

All the world is sad and dreary
Ev'rywhere I roam

Oh, how my heavy heart is weary
All the world is sad and dready
Far from the old folks at home
The Swanee River is calling me home
