Swanee Lyrics

Intro verse:

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 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.

Chorus:

Swanee,

How I love ya, how I love ya

My dear old Swanee! George Gershwin - Swanee - http://motolyrics.com/george-gershwin/swanee-lyrics.html

I'd give the world to be

Among the folks in

D-I-X-I-E-ven now my

Mammy's

Waitin' for me, prayin' for me

Down by the Swanee.

The folks up north won't see me no more

When I go to that Swanee Shore!

Bridge:

Swanee, Swanee, I am goin' back to Swanee!

Swanee, Swanee, I love the old folks at home!

(Repeat chorus)
