Swanee Songtext
von Natural Child

Way down in Georgia near the Swanee
River keep a-rollin′ now
Far, yeah too far, many miles away
Where my mama let me run and play
That's where my heart is cryin′, Johnny
Be good, keep on rockin' now
That's where my grandma and my grandpa stayed


If I would′ve done just like the old folks told me
Instead of like I wanted to
I believe I′d be in better shape today
At least I would not have no hassles, but
I took off on the double and
Caused myself a lot of trouble
And now I got to boogie like my grandma and my grandpa say

Oh the whole world gets so mixed up
People want to hassle me
Everywhere I go, every place I roam
I'm going back
Way down upon the swanee
Walk up to the river and stand there
Where my grandma and my grandpa stood


I am fed up trying to fool with these phoney
People I′ve been knowing now, far
Yeah too far for my own good
Got to get myself together and go back
Way down upon the swanee
Walk up to the river and stand there
Where my grandma and my grandpa stood
