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 wanna be
Somehow I feel your love is real. Near you I long to wanna be
The birds are singin’, it is song time. The banjos strummin’ soft and low
I know that you yearn for me too. Swanee ! You’re calling me !
I know that you yearn for me too. Swanee ! You’re calling me !
–
[CHORUS]- – – – – Swanee ! How I love you, how I love ! My dear ol’ Swanee
I’d give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E-ven no(w) 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 !
I’d give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E-ven no(w) 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 !
[CHORUS]- – – – –
–
Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee !
I am coming back to Swanee ! I am coming back to Swanee !
Swanie – – – I love you, I love you Swanie!
Swanie – – – I love you, I love you Swanie!
