Swanee (Remastered) Songtext
von Al Jolson

I′ve been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel your love is real
Near you I wanna be

The birds are singing, it is song time
The banjo′s strumming soft and low
I know that you yearn for me too
Swanee, you're calling me

Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I give the world to be among the folks in DIX
I even know my mammy's


Waiting for me, praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up North wall see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore

I love you, old folks at home
Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I give the world to be among the folks in DIX

I even though my mammy′s
Waiting for me, praying for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up North wall see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
