Do you know way down way down upon the Swanee
Talkin' about the river, you know it's so far
Yes it's so far away

Do you know that's where my heart is turning
Oh yeah and that's where that's where the old folks stay

All the world is sad and lonely yeah av'rywhere everywhere I roam
I keep a-telling you darling how my heart is growing sad and lonely
Because I'm so far so far from my folks back home

All the world is sad and lonely yeah av'rywhere everywhere I roam
I keep a-telling you darling how my heart is growing sad and lonely
Because I'm so far so far from my folks back home
From my folks back home
From my folks back home
