Please share & favorite, it helps! :) "Swanee" is an American popular song written in 1919 by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Irving Caesar. Gershwin played it at a party where Al Jolson heard it and later recorded it for Columbia Records in 1920. It became Gershwin's first hit and the biggest-selling song of his career. The barbershop arrangement was written by/for the Bluegrass Student Union, my favorite quartet. This is one of their finest pieces, and I've wanted to sing it for ages. Finally, it's done! --- LYRICS I love the coolness of the water I love the softness of the shore Someday I know that I will go Homeward, that's where I long to be The fish are jumping from the river The birds are graceful as they soar I know that they want me today River I hear you calling me to Swanee, How I love you, how I love you My dear old Swanee I'd give the world to be Among the folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven now My mammy's Waiting for me Praying for me Down by the Swanee The folks up north will see me no more When I go to the Swanee Shore I've been away from you a long time I never thought I'd missed you so Somehow I feel You love is real Near you I long to/wanna be The birds are singing it is song time The banjos strumming soft and low I know that you yearn for me too Swanee, you're calling me I hear you
