Railroad train, Railroad train, Hurry some more
Put a little steam on just like never before.
Hustle on, Bustle on, I’ve got the blues
Yearning for my Swanee shore
Brother if you only knew,
You’d want to hurry up too.
Down yonder someone beckons to me,
Down yonder some reckons on me
I seem to see a race in memory
Between the Natchez and the Robert E. Lee
Swanee shore I miss you more and more,
Ev’ry day, My mammy land, You’re simply grand
Down yonder when the folks get the news
Don’t wonder at the Hullabaloos
There’s daddy and mammy, There’s Ephraim and Sammy,
Waitin’ down yonder for me.
Summer night, Fields of white, Bright cotton moon
My, but I feel glad, I’m gonna’ see you all soon
‘Lasses Cakes, Mammy bakes, I taste them now
I can hear the singers croon
I’ll see my sweetie once more
There’s lots of kissing in store
