I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd missed 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 w 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
Swanee Swanee I am coming back to Swanee
Mammy Mammy I love the old folks at home
