Lyrics Swanee (Live) - Al Jolson

I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd missed you so
Somehow I feel
Your love is real
Near you I wanna 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 old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-Even know
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

Oh I love the old folks at home

Swanee! how I love you, how I love
My dear old Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore
