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
