Down where the Swanee River flows 가사

I had a big surprise today While I was watching a photo play, I even saw my dear old home town Down in Dixieland, oh It was grand, Just to sit right there, and gaze At the scenes of bygone days, Made me yearn to return to the land and people, I will love always, I even saw the same old school, Where I learned the golden rule. Down where the Swanee River Flows I want to be there Down where the cotton blossom grows, I want to see there, My little sister Flo', keepin' time with Uncle Joe, Singing a song and raggin' on his old banjo I see my, my dear old mother Oh, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, How I love her, When the birds are singing in the wildwood My happy childhood That comes back once more My heart is sore, that's why I wanna be where they care for me Every night they say a little prayer for me Down where the Swanee River flows. Down where the Swanee River Flows I want to be there Down where the cotton blossom grows, I want to see there, My little sister Flo', keepin' time with Uncle Joe, Singing a song and raggin' on his old banjo I see my dear old mother Oh, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, How I love her, When the birds are singing in the wildwood My happy childhood That comes back once more My heart is sore, that's why I wanna be where they care for me Every night they say a little prayer for me Down where the Swanee River flows.
