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 |
