Rufus Wainwright - Swanee lyrics

Swanee, how I love you, how I love you

My dear old Swanee

I'd give the world to be among the folks in

D-I-X-I-E-ven now my mammy's waiting for me

Praying for me, down by the Swanee

The folks up north will see me no more

When I get to that Swanee shore

Swanee, Swanee,

I'm coming back to Swanee

Mammy, mammy,

I love the old folks at home

I love you Swanee

How I love you, how I love you

My dear old Swanee

I'd give the world if I could only be

Sitting on my mammy's knee

I love the old folks, I love the young folks

My dear old mammy

The folks up north will see me no more

When I get to that Swanee shore
