Lyrics

(D)Way down up on the (G)Swan ee Riv er, (D)far,

far a (A7)way,

(D)there’s where my heart is (G)turn ing ev er, (D)there’s where the (A)old folks (D)stay.

All up and down the (G)whole cre a tion, (D)sad ly I (A7)roam,

(D)still long ing for the (G)old plan ta tion (D)and for the (A)old folks at (D)home.

(A7)All the world is (D)sad and drear y (G)ev ’ry where I (D)roam.

Oh!

dark eyes, how my (G)heart grows wea ry, (D)far from the (A)old folks at (D)home.
