3 2 1 3 4 1 1* 6 1*
Way down u-pon the Swa-nee Riv-er

5 3 1 2
Far far a-way

3 2 1 3 2 1 1* 6 1*
There’s where my heart is turn-ing ev-er

5 3 1 2 2 1
There’s where the old folks stay.

3 2 1 3 2 1 1* 6 1*
All up and down the whole cre-a-tion

5 3 1 2
Sad-ly I roam

3 2 1 3 2 1 1* 6 1*
Still long-ing for the old plan-ta-tion

5 3 1 2 2 2 1
And for the old folks at home.

7 1* 2* 5 5 6 5 1*
All the world is sad and drear-y

1* 6 4 6 5
Ev-‘ry where I roam;

3 2 1 3 2 1 1* 6 1*
Oh broth-er how my heart grows wear-y

5 3 1 2 2 2 1
Far from the old folks at home.
