Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in

D-I-X-I-E-ven now 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'm coming back to Swanee
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home

I loves ya Swanee!
How I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world if I could only be
Sittin' on my mammy's knee
I love the old folks, I love the young folks
Oh my honey lamb, I love 'em all in Alabamy

Mammy, Mammy, my dear old mammy
Your wanderin' child will wander no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
