Swanee

Swanee - Al Jolson

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 D-I-X-I-E-ven

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

Swanee Swanee

I'm back to the 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-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
