Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E-ven now my mammy's waiting for me
Praying for me, down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore
Swanee, Swanee,
I'm coming back to Swanee
Mammy, mammy,
I love the old folks at home
I love you Swanee
How I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world if I could only be
Sitting on my mammy's knee
I love the old folks, I love the young folks
*incomprehensible * … mammy, mammy
My dear old mammy
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore

Oh my goodness...
I think I have fallen in love with Rufus' version of this song. It's absolutely incredible :D He almost doesn't sound like himself in some bits - he still sounds amazing though.
It's a shame there wasn't a recording of him singing it in 'Rufus! Rufus! Rufus! does Judy! Judy! Judy!'. I'd have loved to have seen him do all the hand actions!
