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 banjos strumming, 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 e

Even 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 go to that swanee shore

Swanee, swanee
I am coming back to swanee
Mammy, mammy
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 d i x i e

Even 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 go to that swanee shore
