swanee river - paul robeson lyrics

Loading...

day down upon the swanee river,
far, far away
that is where my heart´s turning ever
that is where the old folks stay
all up & 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 & 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 & 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:
