Swanee by Paul Anka Lyrics

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Swanee
Swanee
I'm coming back home to Swanee

Mammy, my mammy, I love the old folks at home
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
