(Verse 1)
Way down upon the Suwanee River,
Far, far away,
There's where my heart is turning ever,
There's where the old folks stay.
All the world is sad and dreary,
Every where I roam,
Oh! darkies, how my heart grows weary,
Far from the old folks at home.
(Chorus)
All the way down south in the land of cotton,
Old folks at home,
All the way down south in the land of cotton,
Old folks at home.
(Verse 2)
When I was young, I used to wander,
Down the Suwanee River,
Then I'd see old Massa's face,
Smiling by the river.
Now I'm grown, and far away,
Can't forget the happy days,
When I was young, I used to wander,
Down the Suwanee River.
(Chorus)
All the way down south in the land of cotton,
Old folks at home,
All the way down south in the land of cotton,
Old folks at home.
(Verse 3)
Way down upon the Suwanee River,
Far, far away,
There's where my heart is turning ever,
There's where the old folks stay.
All the world is sad and dreary,
Every where I roam,
Oh! darkies, how my heart grows weary,
Far from the old folks at home.
(Chorus)
All the way down south in the land of cotton,
Old folks at home,
All the way down south in the land of cotton,
Old folks at home.
