[00:00.00]Old Folks at Home - Douglas Jimerson
[00:20.72]Way down upon the swanee river
[00:25.99]Far far away
[00:31.04]That's where my heart is turning ever
[00:36.14]That's where the old folks stay
[00:41.09]All up and down the whole creation
[00:46.04]Sadly i roam
[00:51.02]Still longing for the old plantation
[00:56.14]And for the old folks at home
[01:01.22]All the world is sad and dreary everywhere i roam
[01:10.97]Oh lordy how my heart grows weary
[01:16.21]Far from the old folks at home
[01:22.55]
[01:41.93]All round the little farm i wandered
[01:46.83]When i was young
[01:51.63]Then many happy days i squandered
[01:56.40]Many the songs i sung
[02:01.74]When i was playing with my brother
[02:06.33]Happy was i
[02:11.28]Oh take me to my kind old mother
[02:16.13]There let me live and die
[02:21.20]All the world is sad and dreary everywhere i roam
[02:30.31]Oh lordy how my heart grows weary
[02:34.98]Far from the old folks at home
[02:39.06]
[03:00.45]One little hut among the bushes
[03:05.25]One that i love
[03:10.19]Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes
[03:15.01]No matter where i rove
[03:20.08]When will i see the bees a humming
[03:25.05]All round the comb
[03:29.67]When will i hear the banjo strumming
[03:34.70]Down by my good old home
[03:39.69]All the world is sad and dreary everywhere i roam
[03:49.15]Oh lordy how my heart grows weary
[03:53.87]Far from the old folks at home
