Down Where the Swanee River Flows - George Wilton Ballard/The Peerless Quartet[00:00:00]
I had a big surprise today[00:00:13]
While in a ten cent photo play[00:00:17]
I Really saw my old home town[00:00:20]
Way down in Dixieland[00:00:23]
It was Simply grand[00:00:26]
Just to sit right there[00:00:27]
And gaze on the scenes[00:00:29]
Of bygone days[00:00:32]
Made me yearn to return[00:00:34]
To the land and people[00:00:36]
I will love always[00:00:39]
I even saw the same old school[00:00:42]
Where I learned the golden rule[00:00:46]
Down where the Swanee River flows[00:00:52]
I want to be there Down where[00:00:57]
The cotton blossom grows[00:01:00]
I want to see there[00:01:04]
My little sister Flo[00:01:06]
And keeping time with Uncle Joe[00:01:07]
Singing a song and ragging on his[00:01:10]
Old banjo I see my dear old Mother[00:01:11]
Oh Lordy Lordy Lordy how I love her[00:01:17]
When the birds are singing[00:01:21]
In the wildwood My happy[00:01:23]
Childhood comes back[00:01:27]
Once more my heart is sore[00:01:31]
That's why I'm Going back[00:01:34]
Where they care for me[00:01:36]
Every night they say a little prayer[00:01:38]
For me down where the Swanee River flows[00:01:41]
I'd like to meet that movie man[00:01:55]
I want to shake him by the hand[00:01:59]
I Want to tell him[00:02:02]
That he wrote a grand scenario[00:02:04]
He knew where to Go[00:02:08]
Plain as day upon the screen[00:02:09]
Hezakiah can be seen[00:02:13]
Little Mose On his toes[00:02:17]
Looking at the camera[00:02:18]
Nearly spoiled the scene[00:02:21]
I saw The cotton white as foam[00:02:24]
I saw my home sweet home[00:02:28]
Down where the Swanee River flows[00:02:35]
I want to be there[00:02:40]
Down where the cotton blossom grows[00:02:43]
I want to see there[00:02:47]
My little sister Flo[00:02:49]
And keeping time with Uncle Joe[00:02:50]
Singing a song and ragging on his[00:02:53]
Old banjo I see my dear old Mother[00:02:54]
Oh Lordy Lordy Lordy how I love her[00:03:00]
When the birds are singing[00:03:03]
In the wildwood My happy[00:03:06]
Childhood comes back[00:03:10]
Once more my heart is sore[00:03:14]
That's why I'm Going back[00:03:17]
Where they care for me[00:03:19]
Every night they say a little prayer[00:03:21]
For me down where the Swanee River flows[00:03:23]
