Old Folks at Home Analysis

1Way down upon de Swanee ribber,
2Far, far away,
3Dere's wha my heart is turning ebber,
4Dere's wha de old folks stay.
5All up and down de whole creation,
6Sadly I roam,
7Still longing for de old plantation,
8And for de old folks at home.

9[Chorus] All de world am sad and dreary,
10Ebry where I roam,
11Oh! darkeys how my heart grows weary,
12Far from de old folks at home.

13[Solo] All round de little farm I wandered
14When I was young,
15Den many happy days I squandered,
16Many de songs I sung.
17When I was playing wid my brudder
18Happy was I --.
19Oh! take me to my kind old mudder,
20Dere let me live and die.

21[Chorus] All de world am sad and dreary,
22Ebry where I roam,
23Oh! darkeys how my heart grows weary,
24Far from de old folks at home.

25One little hut among de bushes,
26One dat I love,
27Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes,
28No matter where I rove
29When will I see de bees a humming
30All round de comb?
31When will I hear de banjo tumming
32Down in my good old home?

33[Chorus] All de world am sad and dreary,
34Ebry where I roam,
35Oh! darkeys how my heart grows weary,
36Far from de old folks at home.
