Old Folks At Home |
| 1. Way down upon the Swanee River, |
| Far, far away |
| That’s where my heart is turning ever |
| That’s where the old folks stay |
| All up and down the whole creation, |
| Sadly I roam |
| Still longing for the old plantation |
| And for the old folks at home |
| Chorus: |
| All the world is sad and dreary everywhere I roam |
| Oh Lordy, how my heart grows weary |
| Far from the old folks at home |
| 2. All 'round the little farm I wandered, |
| When I was young |
| Then many happy days I squandered, |
| 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 |
| Chorus: |
| 3. One little hut among the bushes, |
| One that I love |
| Still sadly to my mem’ry rushes, |
| No matter where I rove |
| When shall I see the bees a humming, |
| All 'round the comb |
| When shall I hear the banjo strumming, |
| Down by my good old home |
| Chorus: |
