The Homestead Where The Suwanee River Flows 1909

The harvest moon is softly shining,
I sit beneath its mellow gleam,
the evening landscape lies before me
the world in stillness now does seem
I see the weeping willows shady
amidst the visions of my dream,
and dear old mother in the doorway
of the rustic cottage by the stream.

Way down upon the Suwanee River
where the fields are white as snow
'tis there I long to be
and mother dear to see
at the homestead
where the Suwanee River flows.

When twilight's glow descends upon me
and when the sun is sinking low,
the evening zephyrs softly sighing
my thoughts are wafted to and fro
of home sweet home and dear old mother
I hear them singing soft and low,
I see the dear old fashioned homestead
down where the Suwanee river flows.

Way down upon the Suwanee River
where the fields are white as snow
'tis there I long to be
and mother dear to see
at the homestead
where the Suwanee River flows.
