Way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away
That's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay
Up and down the whole creation
Everywhere I roam
Oh Lord, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
Up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
Oh Lord, 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, far away
That's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay
Up and down the whole creation
Everywhere I roam
Oh Lord, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
Up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
Oh Lord, 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
