Swanee River Lyrics

Written by:Rr/Stephen Foster

Way down upon the Swanee river

Far far away

That's where my heart is yearning ever

Home where the old folks stay

Way down upon the Swanee river

Far far away hey

Whoa that's where my heart is yearning ever

Home where the old folks stay

All up and down the whole creation

Sadly I roam

I'm a still a longin' for the old plantation

Oh for the old folks at home

All the world is sad and dreary

Everywhere I roam

Oh darkies how my heart grows weary

Far from the old folks at home

Ah oh oh

Oh

Way down upon the Swanee river

Far far away hey

Whoa that's where my heart is yearning ever

Home where the old folks stay

All up and down the whole creation

Sadly I roam

I'm still a longin' for the old plantation

And for the old folks at home

All the world is sad and dreary

Everywhere I roam

Oh darkies how my heart grows weary

Far from the old folks at home

Far from the old folks at home

Far from the old folks at home

 

Far from the old folks at home
