Lyrics:
wheel drive
And a countryboy can survive, country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long, I can catch catfish from dusk 'til dawn
Make our
But he done her wrong!
One night Frankie happened to pass by the hotel;
Just casually glanced into a window so high,
And who did she see but her
But he done her wrong!
One night Frankie happened to pass by the hotel;
Just casually glanced into a window so high,
And who did she see but her
by the Swanee.
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore.
(whistling)
I miss the old folks at home.
Swanee, how I
the wind and rain
By havin' strength to go against the grain
Well, there's more folks than a few
Who share my point of view
But they're worried
If they're
The old folks don't talk much
They talk so slowly when they do
They are rich they are poor
Their illusions are gone
They share one heart for two
love you
My dear old Swanee!
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I
Even now my mammy's waiting for me
Praying for me, down by
love you
My dear old Swanee!
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I
Even now my mammy's waiting for me
Praying for me, down by
love you
My dear old Swanee!
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I
Even now my mammy's waiting for me
Praying for me, down by
But he done her wrong!
One night Frankie happened to pass by the hotel,
Just casually glanced into a window so high,
And who did she see but her
walk that lonesome valley, Oh, you gotta walk it by yourself
Nobody else is gonna walk it for you, You gotta walk, walk it by yourself.
Some folks say
the rat race
And these days that's a special way of life
Down home, where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down home, a man's good word
to share with you and me
Put your hand in mine and let this old world set us free
Up on the mountain down in the valley
Living on sweet vibrations some
When the sunsets in the sky
And the flowers never die, yes
Friends don't pass you by
Cause that's my home
When the folks say how do you do
on a montain top
Bown by the deep blue sea
And there we'll do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze
One day I'll be old gray Grandpa
All
by the Swanee.
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore.
(whistling)
I miss the old folks at home.
Swanee, 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
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
they make music all day
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
All merry, all happy and bright
By 'n by hard times come a knockin'
the rat race
And these days that's a special way of life
Down home, where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down home, a man's good word
by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore!
The birds are singin', it is song time
The banjos strummin'
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
'Tis summer, the old folks are gay
Where the corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
While
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore !
[Chorus]
Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee !
by the Swanee.
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore.
(whistling)
I miss the old folks at home.
Swanee, how I
