Swanee Songtext
von Michael Holliday

I′ve been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel your love was real
Near you I long to be

The birds are singing, it′s a song time
A banjo strumming soft and low
I know that you yearn for me too
Swanee, you're calling me

Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in Dixie
I even know my mammy′s waiting for me, praying for me
Down by the Swanee


The folks up north never see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
Swanee, mmm, Swanee
I′m coming back to Swanee
Wait for me, mammy, my little mammy, mammy
I love the old folks at home

Oh, Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in Dixie
I even know my mammy′s waiting, waiting for me, waiting for me
Down by the Swanee

The folks up north gonna see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
Swanee, oh, Swanee
I'm coming back to you, Swanee
Mammy, oh, my little mammy
I love the old folks
I love the old folks
I love the old folks at home

I even know my mammy′s waiting down by the Swanee shore
