Old Folks At Home (Swanee River) chords
Stephen Foster (as sung by Paul Robeson)

C                 F      Way down upon the Swanee River,
C         GFar, far away
C                        FThat's where my heart is turning ever
C                G         CThat's where the old folks stay
                    FAll up and down the whole creation,
C       GSadly I roam
C                     F       Still longing for the old plantation
C           G            CAnd for the old folks at home

G                C               F            C    GAll the world is sad and dreary, everywhere I roam
C                 FOh, Lordy, how my heart grows weary,
C            G            Cfar from the old folks at home 

C                     FAll 'round the little farm I wandered,
C          GWhen I was young
C                      FThen many happy days I squandered,
C        G       CMany the songs I sung
C                  FWhen I was playing with my brother,
C         GHappy was I
C                 FOh, take me to my kind old mother,
C            G        CThere let me live and die

G                C               F            C    GAll the world is sad and dreary, everywhere I roam
C                 FOh, Lordy, how my heart grows weary,
C            G            Cfar from the old folks at home 

C               FOne little hut among the bushes,
C          GOne that I love
C                        FStill sadly to my mem'ry rushes,
C         G       CNo matter where I rove
C                    FWhen shall I see the bees a humming,
C              GAll 'round the comb
C                     FWhen shall I hear the banjo strumming,
C          G        CDown by my good old home

G                C               F            C    GAll the world is sad and dreary, everywhere I roam
C                 FOh, Lordy, how my heart grows weary,
C            G            Cfar from the old folks at home
