Lyrics
Refrain:
Don’t cry, Swanee
I’m coming home to you
Don’t cry, Swanee
I’m just as lonesome too
You’re like my Mammy’s teardrops
Shining for me, yes, shining for me
While she waits there
Pining for me, yes, pining for me
But don’t cry Swanee
Just let me cry for you
Patter:
Swanee sun will find its room again
In my Mammy’s face
And Swanee rose will come and bloom again
In that same sweet place
White as cotton is her hair
With all its silver charms
But she will say goodbye to gloom again
When I’m in her arms
