I've been away from you along time
I never thought I'd miss 'ya so
Somehow I feel your love is real
Near you I wanna be
The Birds are singing it is songtime
The banjos strumming soft and low
I know that you yearn for me to 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 DIXIEven though my mammy's waiting for me
Praying for me down by the swanne
The folks up north will see me no more when I get to that swanee shore
He whistles like a bird
I love the old folks at home
Swanee how I love ya how I love ya
My dear old swanee I'd give the world to be among the
Folks in DIXIEven 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
