Swanee

I've been away from you a long time I never thought I'd miss you so Somehow I feel You love is real Near you I long to 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 no 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 my Swanee Shore! Swanee, Swanee, I'm coming back to Swanee! Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home! My 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 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! You've gotta be kidding, Dick!
