Sing A Song Of Swanee 1922

If you should stray far away
from your homeland,
You'll miss the songs you love best;
Then some refrain
like a strain from your own land,
Just makes you yearn,
till you return.

Sing a song of dear old Swanee,
Make me see that southern shore;
Bring along a thought of Swanee,
Take me back home once more.
To the old plantation
where the banjos play;
Southern syncopation
calls me there to stay;
Sing a song of dear old Swanee
Bring the Swanee back to me.

Sing a song of dear old Swanee,
Make me see that southern shore;
Bring along a thought of Swanee,
Take me back home once more.
To the old plantation
where the banjos play;
Southern syncopation
calls me there to stay;
Sing a song of dear old Swanee
Bring the Swanee back to me.

Sometimes a strain
will remain in your mem'ry,
Played on the strings of your heart;
Though far from home
as you roam it is calling,
You must obey,
Love shows the way.

Sing a song of dear old Swanee,
Make me see that southern shore;
Bring along a thought of Swanee,
Take me back home once more.
To the old plantation
where the banjos play;
Southern syncopation
calls me there to stay;
Sing a song of dear old Swanee
Bring the Swanee back to me.

Sing a song of dear old Swanee,
Make me see that southern shore;
Bring along a thought of Swanee,
Take me back home once more.
To the old plantation
where the banjos play;
Southern syncopation
calls me there to stay;
Sing a song of dear old Swanee
Bring the Swanee back to me.
