Swanee Lyrics

Swanee lyrics

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 go to the Swanee shore. 

Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee. 

Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home. 



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 go to the Swanee shore.
