Swanee Lyrics by Peerless Quartet

Fascinating Rhythm - The Broadway Gershwin (1919-1933)

0

[Verse]
I've been away from you a long time (Swanee)
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 (Swanee)
The banjo's strumming soft and low
I know that you
Yearn for me too
Swanee, you're calling me

[Chorus]
Swanee (Oh Swanee, oh Swanee)
How I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-
E-ven though my mammy's (Oh Swanee, oh Swanee)
Waiting for me
Praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to that Swanee shore (I'll be happy, I'll be happy)

[Bridge]
Swanee, Swanee
I am coming back to Swanee
Mammy, Mammy
I love the old folks at home
Swanee (Dear old Swanee), Swanee (Dear old Swanee)
I am coming back to Swanee (And when I see my)
Mammy (Dear old Mammy), Mammy (Dеar old Mammy)
I love the old folks at home

[Chorus]
Swanee (Oh Swanee, oh Swanee)
How I lovе you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-
E-ven though my mammy's (Oh Swanee, oh Swanee)
Waiting for me
Praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to that Swanee shore

[Outro]
When I go to that Swanee shore
