Swanee

LETRA

Swanee

I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd missed you so
Somehow I feel, you love is real
Near you I long to wanna be
The birds are singin', 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
My dear ol' Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E 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
The birds are singin', it is song time
The banjos strummin' soft and low
I know that you, yearn for me too
Swanee, you're calling me
Swanee, Swanee
I am coming back to Swanee
Mammy, mammy
I love the old folks at home
