Lyrics

I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel
Your love is real
Near you I wanna be
The birds are singing, it is song time
The banjo's strumming 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 old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-
E-ven though my mammy's
Waiting for me
Praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
*Whistling*
I love the old folks at home
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-
E-ven though my mammy's
Waiting for me
Praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
