paroles de chanson Swanee (Live) - The Temptations

You know people often ask us happening of songs and songwriters of today
They′re a little bit more pleased and uh in my opinion
The imagination of today's songwriter is greater than ever before
The most remarkable thing is how they are able to capture and express
The feeling and mood of circumstances that surround them
Now I find that much of this is true with many of our early American composers
Such as Gershwin and Foster who wrote about the natural life of people and things
That they saw and loved, now the late Al Josie convinced the world
That the composer of the song lived and meant every word he wrote
When he said,
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, 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 whoa waiting 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
Hey man, what's that?
Melvin, I don′t see nothing
Steam boats are coming, steam boats are coming
Coming, coming just for me, just for me
Just for me, just for me
Swanee we are here
Way down upon the Swanee river, far far away
That's where my heart is longing ever
That′s where the older folks stay
Swanee, Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old Swanee
The folks up North will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee
When I go to the Swanee
When I go to the Swanee
Shore
Shore
