(原詩)

Way down upon the Swanee River
Far far away
That's where my heart is journeying
Never where the poor forks stay
All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
Still lonely for the old plantation
For my folks back home

Up and down the River
People living easy
Living in the sunshine
Taking life easy easy easy
I can hear that river calling me
Calling calling come back home
Come on home to Swanee River
River, river, Swanee River

(interlude)

Find where's the estuary
Everywhere I roam
Oh, brother, I'm so weary
Far from the folks back home
All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
Still lonely for the old plantation
For my folks back home

All the world is weary
Nobody seems to care
Gotta bet back to my Swanee
Hallelujah, take me back there
Way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away
That's where my heart is journeying
Never where the poor forks stay
