Rufus Wainwright Swanee song lyrics

Swanee, how I loves ya, how I loves ya

My dear old Swanee

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

D-I-X-I-E-ven though 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 loves ya Swanee

How I loves ya, how I loves ya

My dear old Swanee

I'd give the world if I could only be

Sittin' on my mammy's knee

I love the old folks, I love the young folks

*incomprehensible* mammy, mammy

My dear old mammy

The folks up north will see me no more

When I get to that Swanee shore
