[Bearbeiten] Old Folks At Home

1^st Verse

C'Way down upon the FSwanee River, Cfar, far a- G7way

CThat's where my heart is Fturning ever, Cthat's where the G7old folks Cstay

CAll up and down the Fwhole creation, Csadly I G7roam

CStill longing for the Fold plantation, Cand for the G7old folks at Chome

Chorus

G7All the world is Csad and dreary, Feverywhere I Croam G7

COh! Lordy, how my Fheart grows weary, Cfar from the G7old folks at Chome

2^nd Verse

CAll 'round the little Ffarm I wandered, Cwhen I was G7young

CThen many happy Fdays I squandered, Cmany a G7song I Csung

CWhen I was playing Fwith my brother, Chappy was G7I

COh! take me to my Fkind old mother, Cthere let me G7live and Cdie   (Chorus)

3^rd Verse

COne little hut a- Fmong the bushes, Cone that I G7love

CStill sadly to my Fmem'ry rushes, Cno matter G7where I Crove

CWhen will I see the Fbees a-humming Call a- Cround the G7comb?

CWhen will I hear the Fbanjo strummin' Cdown in my G7good old Chome?   (Chorus)
