Swanee letra

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 song time
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
D-i-x-i-e-ven 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

(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
D-i-x-i-e-ven 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
