Swanee River
Way down upon de Swanee Ribber,
Far, far away,
Dere’s whar ma heart am turning ebber,
Dere’s whar de old folks stay.
All up and down de whole creation,
Sadly I roam,
Still longing for de old plantation,
And for de old folks at home.
Stephen Collins Foster—Old Folks at Home. (Swanee Ribber.)
