Lyrics

(D)Way down upon the (G)Swanee River,

(D)far, far (A7)away,

(D)there's where my heart is (G)turning ever,

(D)there's where the (A)old folks (D)stay.

All up and down the (G)whole creation,

(D)sadly I (A7)roam,

(D)still longing for the (G)old plantation (D)and for the (A)old folks at (D)home.

(A7)All the world is (D)sad and dreary (G)ev'rywhere I (D)roam.

Oh! dark eyes, how my (G)heart grows weary,

(D)far from the (A)old folks at (D)home.
