Swanee

Swanee - Al Jolson

I've been away from you a long time

I never thought I'd miss you so

Somehow I feel your love is real

Near you I want to be

The birds are singin' it is springtime

The banjo's strummin' soft and low

I know that you yearn for me too

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-

Even know my mammy's

Waitin' for me prayin' for me

Down by the Swanee

The folks up North will see me no more

When I get to that Swanee shore

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-Even

Know my mammy's

Waitin' for me prayin' for me down by the Swanee

The folks up North will see me no more

When I get to that Swanee shore
