I ＇ ve been away from you a long time
I never thought I ＇ d missed you so
Somehow I feel You love is real
Near you I long to be
The birds are singing it is song time
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 ol Swanee
I ＇ d give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven
Now My mammy ＇ s
Waiting for me Praying 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 going back to Swanee
Swanee Swanee I love the old folks at home
Swanee How I love you how I love you
My dear ol Swanee
I ＇ d give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven
Now My mammy ＇ s
Waiting for me Praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore
