Swanee

I've been away from you a long time I never thought I'd missed you so Somehow I feel You 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! 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 now 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! 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! Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee! Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home! --- Swanee - Al Jolson
