way down upon the Swanee River

 6   5  4 -4
far,far away,

   5     -4   4    5   -4  4   7  -6 7
there's where my heart is turning ever

   6      5    4  -4   -4     4
there's where the old folks stay.

 5  -4  4   5   -4    4    7-6 7
all up and down the whole creation

 6 5  4  -4
sadly i roam

  5    -4  4   5  -4   4  7  -6  7
still longing for the old plantation

 6   5   4  -4   -4   -4   4
and for the old folks at home.
