Stephen Collins Foster

“ Way down upon the Swanee ribber,
⁠Far, far away,
Dere's wha my heart is turning ebber,
⁠Dere's wha de old folks stay.
All up and down de whole creation,
⁠Sadly I roam;
Still longing for de old plantation,
⁠And for de old folks at home. ”

“ When will I hear de banjo tumming,
⁠Down in my good home,
⁠All de world am sad and dreary, &c.
