George Gershwin - Swanee Lyrics
I've been away from you a long timeI never thought I'd missed you soSomehow I feelYou love is realNear you I long to/wanna beThe birds are singin', it is song timeThe banjos strummin' soft and lowI know that youYearn for me tooSwanee ! You're calling me !Chorus :Swanee !How I love you, how I love !My dear ol' SwaneeI'd give the world to beAmong the folks inD-I-X-I-E-ven no[w]My mammy'sWaiting for mePraying for meDown by the SwaneeThe folks up north will see me no moreWhen I go to the Swanee Shore !(bis Chorus)Swanee, Swanee, I am coming back to Swanee !Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home !(bis)
