Swanee

I've been away from you a long time.
I never thought I'd miss you so.
Somehow I feel, your heart is real,
Near you I want to be.
The birds are singin'; it is springtime.
The banjo's strummin' soft and low.
I know that you, yearn for me too,
Swanee, you're calling me.

Swan-ee, 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 won't see me again
When I get to that Swanee shore.

Swanee, Swanee,
Oh, how I love my Swanee.
Swanee, Swanee.
I love the old folks at home.
