Al Jolson - Swanee lyrics

I've been away from you a long time. I never thought I'd miss you so. Somehow I feel Your love is real. Near you I want 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. Swannee, 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 for me, Praying for me Down by the Swanee. The folks up north will see me no more When I get to that Swanee shore. (whistling) I miss 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 Waiting for me, Praying for me Down by the Swanee. The folks up north will see me no more When I get to that Swanee shore.
