lyrics

Way down upon the Swanee River,
Far, far away
That's where my heart is turning ever
That's where my old folks stay

All up and down the whole creation,
Sadly I roam
Still longing for that old sensation
And for my old folks home

All the world is sad and dreary, everywhere I roam
Oh, Lordy, how my heart grows weary,
far from my old folks' home

All 'round the little farm I wandered,
When I was young
Then many happy days I squandered,
Many the songs I sung
When I was playing with my brother,
Happy I was
Oh, take me to my kind old mother,
There let me live and die

One little hut among the bushes,
One that I love
Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes,
No matter where I rove
When shall I see the bees a humming,
All 'round the comb
When shall I hear the banjo strumming,
Down by my good old home
