[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?
