Swanee how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old Swanee, I’d give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my
Mammy’s waitin’ for me prayin’ for me down by the Swanee
The folks up North will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore.
Swanee, Swanee, I am gong back to Swanee.
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home.

I loves you, Swanee, how I love ya,
How I love ya, my dear old Swanee
I’d give the world if I could only be sitting on my Mammy’s knee
I love the old folks; I love the young folks
Oh my honey lamb, you love ’em all in Allabamy
Mammy, Mammy, my dear old Mammy
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee Shore!
