Jackie Wilson - Swanee Lyrics

I've been away from you a long time.
I never thought I'd miss you so.
Somehow I feel, your love was real,
Near you I long to be.

The birds are singing, it is song time.
The banjo's strummin' soft and low.
I know that you yearn for me too,
Swanee you're calling me.

Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in d-I-x-I even know my
Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' 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.

Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-x-I even know my mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me
Down by the swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the swanee shore.
