Lyrics Swanee - Bing Crosby
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
strumming
soft
and
low
I
know
that
you
Yearn
for
me
too
Swanee,
you're
calling
me
Swanee,
how
I
love
you,
how
I
love
you
My
dear
old
Swanee
I
give
the
world
to
be
Among
the
folks
in
D-I-X-I
Even
though
my
mammy's
waiting
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′m
coming
back
to
Swanee
Oh
Mammy,
little
Mammy
I
love
the
old
folks
at
home
Swanee,
how
I
love
you,
how
I
love
you
My
dear
old
Swanee
I
give
the
world
to
be
Among
the
folks
in
D-I-X-I
Even
though
my
mammy′s
Well
she's
waiting
for
me
Needs
me,
desires
me
down
Down
by
the
Swanee
The
folks
up
north
will
see
me
no
more
When
I
go
to
the
Swanee
Yes
when
I
go
to
the
Swanee
shore
