Way down u-pon the Swa-nee Riv-er, far, far a-way,
  6       -5   5   6   -5   5   8  -7  8
There's where my heart is turn-ing ev-er,
  7       6    5   -5  -5     5                   
There's where the old folks stay.

 6  -5  5    6   -5   5    8 -7   8    7   6 5  -5
All up and down the whole cre-a-tion, sad-ly I roam,
  6    -5   5   6   -5  5    8  -7   8
Still long-ing for the old plan-ta-tion,
 7   6   5   -5  -5   -5   5
And for the old folks at home.

All the world is sad and drear-y, ev-'ry where I roam;
 6   -5    5  6  -5   5     8    -7  8
Oh, broth-er how my heart grows wear-y
 7    6   5   -5  -5   -5   5
Far from the old folks at home.
