Swanee

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
