Swanee

Swanee - George Bassman/Richard Hayes

I've been away from you a long time

I never thought I'd missed you so

Somehow I feel

Your love is real

Near you I long to be

The birds are singing it is song time

The banjos strummin' soft and low

I know that you

Yearn for me too

Swanee you're calling me

You're calling Swanee

How I love you how I love you

My dear ol' Swanee

I'd give the world to be

Among the folks in

D-I-x-I-e-ven 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

Swanee Swanee

Swanee Swanee I am coming back to Swanee

Mammy Mammy

Mammy Mammy I love the old folks at home

Swanee Swanee

Swanee Swanee I am coming back to Swanee

Mammy Mammy

Mammy Mammy I love the old folks at home

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 am coming back to my ol' Swanee shore
