The Old Folks at Home (Swanee River) Lyrics
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
Far, far away
That's where my heart is yearning ever,
Home where the old folks stay
Far, far away-hey
Whoa, that's where my heart is yearning ever,
Home where the old folks stay
Sadly I roam
I'm a still a-longin' for the old plantation,
Oh, for the old folks at home
Far, far away-hey.
Whoa, that's where my heart is yearning ever,
Home where the old folks stay.
Sadly I roam.
I'm still a-longin' for the old plantation,
And for the old folks at home.
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
