Ben Bernie - Swanee Lyrics

I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel, your love is real
Near you, I wanna be

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

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, even though my
Mammy's waitin' for me, prayin' for me
Down by the Swanee

The folks up North will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore

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, even though my
Mammy's waitin' for me, prayin' for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up North will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
