Swanee River Rock

Brenda Lee


Do you know way down, way down upon the Swanee
Talkin' about the river
You know it's so far, yes it's so far away
Do you know that's where my heart is a turning
Oh yeah and that's where
That's where the old folks stay

All the world is sad and lonely
Yeah everywhere I roam
I keep a telling you darling
How my heart is so sad and lonely
Because I'm so far, so far
From my folks back home

All the world is sad and lonely...
I keep a telling you darling
How my heart is so sad and lonely
Because I'm so far, so far
Far from my folks back home (Repeat 4X)
