Way down [Eb] upon the Swanee River, [Bb] far, far [F] away, _ _ _
[Bb] _ There's where my heart is turning, never, there's [F] where the old [Bb] folks stay. _ _
All up and down [Eb] the whole creation, [Bb] _ sadly [F] I roam, _
[Bb] Still _ longing for the old [Eb] plantation [Bb] and [F] for the old [Bb] folks at home. _
[F] All the world [Bb] is sad and dreary, [Eb] _ everywhere [Bb] I roam, _
Oh, dark is how [Eb] my heart grows weary, [Bb] far [F] from the old [Bb] folks at home. _ _

All around the [Eb] little farm I wondered [Bb] when [Gm] I was [Cm] young,
[F] _ _
[Bb] Them many [Eb] happy days I squandered, [Bb] many [F] the songs [Bb] I sung. _ _
When I was [Eb] playing with my brother, [Bb] _ [Gm] happy [Cm] was I.
[F] _ _
[Bb] Oh, take me to [Eb] my kind old mother, [Bb] there let [F] me live [Bb] and die. _
[F] All the world [Bb] is sad and dreary, [Eb] _ [Cm] everywhere [Bb] I roam, _ _
Oh, dark is how [Eb] my heart grows weary, [Bb] far from [F] the old folks [Bb] at home. _ _

One little [Eb] hut among the bushes, [Bb] one [Gm] that I [Cm] _ [F] love, _
[Bb] Still sadly to my memory [Eb] _
[Bb] rushes, no [F] matter where [Bb] I roam. _ _
When will I see [Eb] the bees a-humming [Bb] all [Gm] around the [Cm] corn?
_ [F] _ _
[Bb] When will I hear the banjo [Eb] tumming [Bb] down in [F] my good old [Bb] home? _ _
[F] All the world [Bb] is sad and dreary, [Eb] _ [Cm] everywhere [Bb] I roam, _ _
Oh, dark is how [Eb] my heart grows weary, [Bb] far from [F] the old [Bb] folks at home. _ _
