[Verse]

Railroad train, railroad train hurry up some more

Put a little steam on just like never before

Hustle on, bustle on, I got the blues

Yearning for my Swanee shore

Brother if you only knew you'd want to hurry up too

[Chorus]

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

Every day my mammy land you are just simply grand

[Post-Chorus]

Down yonder when the folks get the news

Don't wonder at the hullabaloos

There's daddy and mammy, Ephraim and Sammy

Waitin' down yonder for me

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Oh, 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

Every day my mammy land you are just simply grand

[Post-Chorus]

Down yonder when the folks get the news

Don't wonder at the hullabaloos

There's daddy and mammy, Ephraim and Sammy

Waitin' down yonder, waitin' down yonder

Waitin' down yonder for me
