Lyrics
Way down upon the Suwannee River
Far far away
That's where my heart is turning ever
That's where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
Still longing for the old plantation
And for the old folks at home
All the world is sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam
Oh dear ones how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
All round the little farm I wandered
When I was young
Then many happy days I squandered
Many the songs I sung
When I was playing with my brother
Happy was I
Oh take me to my kind old mother
There let me live and die
All the world is sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam
Oh dear ones how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
One little hut among the bushes
One that I love
Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes
No matter where I rove
When shall I see the bees a-hummin'
All round the comb?
When shall I hear the banjo strummin'
Down by my good old home?
All the world is sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam
Oh dear ones how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
