Al Jolson - Swanee - (Sinbad) lyrics

I've been away from you a long time I never thought I'd miss you so Somehow I feel, your love was real Near you I long to be The birds are singing, it is song time The banjos strumming, soft and low I know that you yearn for me too Swanee, you're calling me 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 E Even though my mammy's waiting for me Praying for me down by the Swanee The folks up north will see me no more When I go to that Swanee shore Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee Mammy, Mammy I love the old folks at home 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 E Even though my mammy's waiting for me Praying for me down by the Swanee The folks up north will see me no more When I go to that Swanee shore
