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, someone 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'ryday, my mammy land, you're simply grand
Down yonder, when the folks get the news
Don't wonder at the hullabaloo
There's Daddy and Mammy, there's Ephram 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'll see my sweetie once more
There's lots of kissing in store
