C,3 Old Folks at Home Stephen Foster C G7 C F Way down upon the Swanee river, C G7 Far, far away, C G7 C F There's where my heart is turning ever; C G7 C There's where the old folks stay. C G7 C F All up and down the whole creation, C G7 Sadly I roam, C G7 C F Still longing for the old plantation, C G7 C And for the old folks at home. Chorus: G7 C All the world is sad and dreary, F C Everywhere I roam, G7 C F O brothers, how my heart grows weary, C G7 C Far from the old folks at home. All 'round the little farm I wandered, When I was young, Then many happy days I squandered, Many songs I sung. When I was playing with my brother, Happy was I, Oh, take me to my kind old mother, There let me live and die.
