Where the sun sets in the sky
And the flowers never die
And friends don't pass you by
That's my home
Where the folk say, "How do you do?"
They really mean it too
Whereas mama's love is true
That's my home
I'm always welcome back
No matter where I roam
It's just a little shack
But to me, it's home sweet home
Where the Swanee river flows
And the shady pine trees grow
Then I know, I really know
That's my home
I'm always welcome back
No matter where I roam
It's just a little shack
But to me, it's home sweet home
Where the Swanee river flows
And the shady pine trees grow
And then I know, I really know
That's my home, going home
