Swanee River (Old Folks At Home)
The Ink Spots

Words and Music by Stephen Collins Foster

This version did not chart

The Swanee River runs in Florida and "Old Folks At Home" is that state's theme
   song.


'way down upon the Swanee River
Far, far away
There's where my heart is turning ever
There's where the old folks stay

All the world is sad and dreary everywhere I roam
Oh, *darling*, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
