Old folks at home |
| Way down upon the Suwannee River |
| Far, far away |
| There’s where my heart is turning ever |
| There’s where the old folks stay |
| All up and down the whole creation |
| Sadly I roam |
| Still longing for my childhood station |
| And for the old folks at home |
| All the world is sad and dreary |
| Everywhere I roam |
| O dear ones, how my heart grows weary |
| Far from the old folks at home |
| All ‘round the little farm I wander’d |
| When I was young; |
| Then many happy days I squander’d |
| Many the songs I sung |
| When I was playing with my brother |
| Happy was I |
| Oh, take me to my kind old mother |
| There let me live and die |
| All the world is sad and dreary |
| Everywhere I roam |
| O dear ones, how my heart grows weary |
| Far from the old folks at home |
| One little hut among the bushes |
| One that I love |
| Still sadly to my memory rushes |
| No matter where I rove |
| When will I see the bees a humming |
| All ‘round the comb? |
| When shall I hear the banjo strumming |
| Down in my good old home |
| All the world is sad and dreary |
| Everywhere I roam |
| O dear ones, how my heart grows weary |
| Far from the old folks at home |
