Way down upon the Swanee River far, far away
That's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay
Way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away hey
Whoa, that's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
I'm a still a-longin' for the old plantation
Oh, for the old folks at home ah oh oh!
Oh, my my!
Well, way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away hey
Whoa, that's where my heart is yearning ever
Home where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
I'm still a-longin' for the old plantation
And for the old folks at home
All the world is sad and dreary
Ev'rywhere I roam
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home
Far from the old folks at home
