Verse: I've been away from you a long time,
I never though I'd miss you so.
Somehow I feel, Your love was real, Near you I long to be.
The birds are singing, It is songtime,
The banjos strummin' soft and low,
I know that you, Yearn for me too, Swanee You're calling me.

Chorus: Swanee, How I love you How I love you, My dear old Swanee.
I'd give the world to be, among the folks in D-I-X-I-Even know 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
(I'll be happy, I'll be happy)

Tag: Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee.
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old foks at home.
