[Verse 1]
Swannanoa, I can hear you
Call my name upon the wind
If I fall behind, don’t worry
You will see my face again
You will see my face again

[Verse 2]
Swannanoa, I am longing
For my home so far away
I will carry you within me
From the cradle to the grave
From the cradle to the grave

[Bridge]
And the mountains, and the mist
And the white clouds they kissed
And the sweetgum’s perfume in my hair

[Chorus]
When these hard times have passed
I will see you at last
Swannanoa, I’ll be home to stay
Oh my darling, I’ll be home to stay

[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
When these hard times have passed
I will see you at last
Swannanoa, I’ll be homе to stay
Oh my darling, I’ll be home to stay
