Lyrics Swanee - Connie Francis

I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel
You love is real
Near you I long to 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 ol' Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E-ven no 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 my Swanee Shore!
Swanee, Swanee, I'm coming back to Swanee!
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home!
My Swanee!
How I love you, how I love!
My dear ol' Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E-ven no 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!
You've gotta be kidding, Dick!
