Swanee River Songtext
von Bunny Berigan and His Orchestra

Way down upon the Swanee river
Far, far away
That′s where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay

Way down upon the Swanee river
Far, far away, hey
Whoa, that's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay

All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
I′m a still a-longin' for the old plantation
Oh, for the old folks at home

Ah, oh, oh
Oh, my, my


Well, way down upon the Swanee river
Far, far away, hey
Whoa, that's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay

All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
I′m still a-longin′ for the old plantation
And for the old folks at home

All the world is sad and dreary
Ev'rywhere I roam
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary

Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home
