Lyrics:

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 is songtime,
The banjos strummin' soft and low,
I know that you,
yearn for me too,
Swanee you're calling me.

Swanee, how I love you, how I love you, 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 the Swanee shore

I love the old folks at home

Swanee, how I love you, how I love you, 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.
