Judy Garland · Other Songs - Judy Garland
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I even know my
Mammy's waitin' for me prayin' for me
Down by the Swanee
The folks up North will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore.
Swanee, Swanee I am coming back to Swanee.
Mammy, Mammy, I love the old folks at home.
I love ya!
Swanne, how i love ya, how i love ya.
my dear old swanne
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.
Oh! my honey you'll love them all in allabamy,
Mammy! mammy,
my dear old mammy.
your wondering child, will wonder no more.
When i get to that.
Swanne!-shore!
