Please refer the Wikipedia's Info: 'The Suwannee river is the subject of the Stephen Foster song "Old Folks at Home", in which he calls it the Swanee River. Foster had named the Pedee River of South Carolina in his first lyrics. It was called Swanee River because Foster had misspelled the name....'

Way down upon the Swanee river, far, far away.

There`s where my heart is yearning ever, that`s

where the ole folks stay

All up and down the whole creation, sadly I roam

Still longing for the ole Plantation

And for the ole folks at home (Chorus)

All the world is sad and dreary, everywhere I roam

O` Darkies how my heart grows weary

Far from the ole folks at home

Visit here now and then, but I always end up going to Johnny Jake`s version on the fiddle. Try it, you might like it too!

Remember when cartoons used that song a lot.

Yes---beautiful but at the same time, sad.
