[00:01.00]
[00:20.14] Way down upon de Swanee Ribber,
[00:24.84] Far, far away,
[00:30.65] Dere's wha my heart is turning ebber,
[00:35.86] Dere's wha de old folks stay.
[00:40.51] All up and down de whole creation
[00:45.41] Sadly I roam,
[00:50.42] Still longing for de old plantation,
[00:55.82] And for de old folks at home.
[01:00.24] All de world am sad and dreary,
[01:05.39] Eb-rywhere I roam;
[01:10.14] Oh, darkeys, how my heart grows weary,
[01:15.64] Far from de old folks at home!
[01:40.73] All round de little farm I wandered
[01:45.49] When I was young,
[01:50.93] Den many happy days I squandered,
[01:55.24] Many de songs I sung.
[02:00.09] When I was playing wid my brudder
[02:05.45] Happy was I;
[02:10.15] Oh, take me to my kind old mudder!
[02:15.10] Dere let me live and die.
[02:19.55] All de world am sad and dreary,
[02:24.51] Eb-rywhere I roam;
[02:29.06] Oh, darkeys, how my heart grows weary,
[02:33.86] Far from de old folks at home!
[02:44.00]
[03:00.00] One little hut among de bushes,
[03:05.00] One dat I love
[03:09.00] Still sadly to my memory rushes,
[03:14.20] No matter where I rove.
[03:19.00] When will I see de bees a-humming
[03:24.00] All round de comb?
[03:29.00] When will I hear de banjo strumming,
[03:33.00] Down in my good old home?
