Swanee

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 long to be The birds are singing, it is song time The banjos strummin' 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 Even now my mammy's waiting for me Praying 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'm coming back to Swanee Mammy, mammy 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 Even now my mammy's waiting for me Praying for me, down by the Swanee The folks up north will see me no more When I go to the Swanee shore!
