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 playin' soft and low
I know that you long for me too
Swanee, you're callin' me
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
The D-I-X-I, even though my mama'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
Swanee, Swanee, I'm going back to Swanee
Mama and my daddy
I love the old folks at home
Woah, Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I, D-I-X-I, even though my mama'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
Swanee shore
Going home
Won't be long
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
Swanee, oh, how I love you, how I love you
Take me to that good old Swanee shore
(Woo!)
(Patti Austin)
