  			 C    G       Am           F 
 Way down upon the Swanee River, 
  C 
 Far, far away. 
 C      G         Am        F 
 That's where my heart is turning ever. 
 C          G               C 
 That's where the old folks stay. 

 C     G       Am               F 
 All up and down the whole creation, 
 C 
 Sadly I roam, 
 C      G        Am             F 
 Still longing for the old plantation, 

 C            G           C 
 And for the old folks at home. 

 G                         C      
 All the world is sad and dreary, 
 F            C 
 Everywhere I roam, 
 C      G          Am             F 
 Oh! Lordy, how my heart grows weary, 
 C         G             C 
 Far from the old folks at home. 
  
 All 'round the little farm I wandered 
 When I was young, 
 Then many happy days I squandered, 
 Many a song I sung. 
 When I was playing with my brother 
 Happy was I. 
 Oh! take me to my kind old mother, 
 There let me live and die. 
  
 All the world is sad and dreary, 
 Everywhere I roam, 
 Oh! Lordy, how my heart grows weary, 
 Far from the old folks at home. 
  
 One little hut among the bushes, 
 One that I love, 
 Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes, 
 No matter where I rove. 
 When will I see the bees a-humming' 
 All around the comb? 
 When will I hear the banjo strummin' 
 Down in my good old home? 
  
 All the world is sad and dreary, 
 Everywhere I roam, 
 Oh, Lordy, how my heart grows weary, 
 Far from the old folks at home.
