Do you know way down way down upon the Swanee 
Talkin' about the river, you know it's so far 
Yes it's so far away 

Do you know that's where my heart is turning 
Oh yeah and that's where that's where the old folks stay 

All the world is sad and lonely yeah av'rywhere everywhere I roam 
I keep a-telling you darling how my heart is growing sad and lonely 
Because I'm so far so far from my folks back home 

All the world is sad and lonely yeah av'rywhere everywhere I roam 
I keep a-telling you darling how my heart is growing sad and lonely 
Because I'm so far so far from my folks back home 
From my folks back home 
From my folks back home
