George Gershwin - Swanee lyrics
[George Gershwin - Swanee lyrics]
I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd missed you so
Somehow I feel you love is real
Near you I long to wanna be
The birds are singin', it is song time
The banjos strummin' soft and low
I know that you yearn for me too
Swanee! You're calling me!
Swanee! How I love you, how I love!
My dear ol' Swanee i'd give the world to be
Among the folks in
Waiting for me praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore!
Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee!
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home!
(bis)
I never thought I'd missed you so
Somehow I feel you love is real
Near you I long to wanna be
The birds are singin', it is song time
The banjos strummin' soft and low
I know that you yearn for me too
Swanee! You're calling me!
Swanee! How I love you, how I love!
My dear ol' Swanee i'd give the world to be
Among the folks in
Waiting for me praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee Shore!
Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee!
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home!
(bis)
