Lyrics
I've been away from you along time I never thought I'd miss 'ya so Somehow I feel, your love is real Near you I wanna be. The Birds are singing it is songtime The banjos strumming soft and low I know that you yearn for me to swanee you're calling me Chorus Swanee - how I love ya, how I love ya My dear old swanee. I'd give the world to be among the folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven though my mammy's waiting for me, praying for me down by the swanne. The folks up north will see me no more when I get to that swanee shore (he whistles like a bird) I love the old folks at home Swanee - how I love ya, how I love ya My dear old swanee. I'd give the world to be among the folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven though my mammy's waiting for me, praying for me down by the swanee. The folks up north will see me no more when I get to that swanee shore.
