Way down up-on the Swanee River,
-7   -6  -5 6  -6       6    -5  -6   6
Far, far away, there’s where my heart is
-5  -9  -8 -9   -7      -6   -5   6    6
Turning ev-er, there’s where the old folks
-5     -6  6  -5   -6   6
Stay.  All up and down the
 -5   -9 -8 -9    -7 -6 -5  6
Whole cre-a-tion, sadly  I roam,
 -6    6  -5   -6  6  -5  -9 -8 -9
Still longing for the old plantation,
-7  -6  -5   6    6   6   -5
And for the old folks at home.

-9 -8  7   -8  -7
Every where I roam.
-6   6 -5   -6  6    -5   -9   -8 -9
Oh! Darkies how my heart grows weary,
-7   -6  -5   6   6    6   -5
Far from the old folks at home.
