Old Folks At Home (Swanee River) piano leadsheet with chords
Level 1D100 BPMStephen C. Foster
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.
Way down upon the Swanee River,
far, far away,
there's where my heart is turning ever,
there's where the old folks stay.
All up and down the whole creation,
sadly I roam,
still longing for the old plantation and for the old folks at home.
All the world is sad and dreary ev'rywhere I roam.
Oh! dark eyes, how my heart grows weary,
far from the old folks at home.
