Down Yonder Lyrics

DOWN YONDER

Writer L. Wolfe Gilbert



Railroad train, railroad train, hurry some more; Put a little steam on just
like never before. Hustle on, bustle on, I've got the blues, Yearning for my
Swanee shore. Brother if you only knew, you'd want to hurry up, too. (Refrain:)
Down yonder, someone beckons to me, Down yonder, someone reckons on me. I seem
to see a race in memory Between the Natchez and the Robert E. Lee. Swanee
shore, I miss you more and more; Ev'ryday, my mammy land, you're simply grand
Down yonder, when the folks get the news, Don't wonder at the hullabaloo.
There's Daddy and Mammy, there's Ephram and Sammy, Waitin' down yonder for me.
Summer night, fields of white, bright cotton moon ? My, but I feel glad I'm
gonna see you all soon! 'Lasses cakes mammy bakes, I taste them now. I'll see
my sweetie once more, There's lots of kissing in store.
