Lyrics Swanee River - Roger Wagner Chorale

Way down upon de Swanee river
Far, far away
Dere's wha my heart is turning ebber
Dere's wha de old folks stay
All up and down de whole creation
Sadly I roam
Still longing for de old plantation
And for de old folks at home

All de world am sad and dreary
Ebry where I roam
Oh! darkies how my heart grows weary
Far from de old folks at home
All round de little farm I wandered
When I was young
Den many happy days I squandered
Many de songs I sung
When I was playing wid my brudder
Happy was I
Oh! take me to my kind old mudder
Dere let me live and die
