Swanee

Swanee - Al Jolson

Written by：Gerswhin Ceaser

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 singing it is song time

The banjo's strumming soft and low

I know that you

Yearn for me too

Swanne you're calling me

Swanee how I love you how I love you

My dear old Swanee

I give the world to be

Among the folks in Dixi

Even 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

Swanee

Swanee

When I get to that Swanee shore

My dear

My dear

I love the old folks at home

Swanee how I love you how I love you

My dear old Swanee

I give the world to be

Among the folks in Dixi

Even 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
