Way down upon the Swanee River

Far far away

That's where my heart is yearning ever

There's where the old folks stay

All the world is sad and dreary

Ev'rywhere I roam

I'm lonely in my heart grows weary

Far from the old folks at home

All up and down the whole creation

Sadly I roam

Still a-longin' for the old plantation

And for the old folks at home

All the world is sad and dreary

Ev'rywhere I roam

I'm lonely in my heart grows weary

Far from the old folks at home
