Lyrics Swanee - Michael Feinstein

Swanee

Swanee
How I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I’d give the world to be
Among the folks, way back in
G i x i, even a man, man me, I
She’s waiting for me, praying for me, down
By the Swanee
The folks up north, they’ll see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
Swanee
Swanee
I’m coming back home to Swanee
Mammy, my mammy, I love the old folks at home
I’ve been away from you a long time
I never thought I’d miss you so
Somehow I feel, our love was real
Near you, I want to be
The birds are singing it is summertime
I hear that banjo soft and low
Somehow I feel, our love was real
Swanee, I love you so
My, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I’d give the world to be
Among the folks, way back in
G i x i, even a man, man me, I
She’s waiting for me, praying for me, down
By the Swanee
The folks up north, they’ll see me no more
When I get to that Swanee;
I get to that Swanee;
I get to that Swa-nee shore
