Swanee River

Well, John and Georgia never swanee

River keep on rollin' up far

You know I didn't roam million miles away

From where my mama let me run and play

That's where my heart is cryin', Johnny

I'll be good to keep on rockin' up

That's where my grandma and my grandpa stayed

All the whole world today, so mixed up

People want to hassle me

Everywhere I go, every place I roam

I'm going back

Where I've been up on the swanee and picked up

My mammy's little sharny

'Cause that's where I belong

That's my grandma and my grandpa's home

If I would've done this like the old folks told me

Instead I like I wanted

'Til I believe I'd be in better shape today

At least I would not have no house and

But I took off on a double

And caused my, self a lot of trouble

And now I got to boogie like my grandma and my grandpa say

I am better tryna fool with these phoney

People I've been known are now far

A far, too far for my own good

I don't wanna to get myself together and go back

When I'm up on the swanee

Walk up to the river and stand there

Where my grandma and my grandpa stood

All, the whole world today, so mixed up

People want to hassle you

Everywhere you go, everywhere you stay

I'm going back

Where I've been up on the swanee and picked up

My mammy's little sharny

'Cause that's where I belong

That's my grandma and my grandpa's home
