Pete Seeger - Swanee River lyrics
[Pete Seeger - Swanee River lyrics]
There's where my heart is turning ever
There's where the old folks stay
All the world is sad and dreary
Ev'ry where I roam
Oh, darkies how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
Still longing for the old plantation
And for the folks at home
All 'round the little farm I wandered
When I was young
Than many happy days I squander'd
Many the songs I sung
When I was playing with my brother
Happy was I
Oh, take me to my kind old mother
There let me live and die
One little hut among the bushes
One that I love
Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes
No matter where I rove
When shall I see the bees a humming
All round the comb?
When shall I hear the banjo strumming
Down in my good old home?
