Just As Long As The Swanee Flows 1911

Come on my Honey Lou
I want to talk to you
I want a word or two with you.
I want to take you where
the Swanee River flows,
I do, I do,
what do I want to say?
What would you have me say?
That's what I want to say to you
I want to tell you
just how long I will love you.

Just as long as the Swanee flows,
just as long as the cotton grows,
There's a place in my heart for you
just for you, Honey Lou.
And I'll wait by the melon vine
till you promise that you'll be mine
for I love you, my Southern Rose,
while the Swanee flows.

Just as long as the Swanee flows,
just as long as the cotton grows,
There's a place in my heart for you
just for you, Honey Lou.
And I'll wait by the melon vine
till you promise that you'll be mine
for I love you, my Southern Rose,
while the Swanee flows.

I wouldn't sigh for you
I wouldn't cry for you
I wouldn't die for you my Lou.
But I would live
a thousand years to love you
If you loved me too,
and I will say once more,
just what I said before,
I'd like to sing it
through and through,
I want to sing this chorus
once again for you.

Just as long as the Swanee flows,
just as long as the cotton grows,
There's a place in my heart for you
just for you, Honey Lou.
And I'll wait by the melon vine
till you promise that you'll be mine
for I love you, my Southern Rose,
while the Swanee flows.

Just as long as the Swanee flows,
just as long as the cotton grows,
There's a place in my heart for you
just for you, Honey Lou.
And I'll wait by the melon vine
till you promise that you'll be mine
for I love you, my Southern Rose,
while the Swanee flows.
