OLD FOLKS AT HOME.
By E. P. CHRIsTY.

BY +. 2. CHRIsTY.
Way down upon the Sawney river,
Far, far away
Dah's whar my heart am turning eber,
Dah's whar the old folks stay.
ALI up and down the whole creation
Sadly | roam
Still looking for the old plantation,
And for the old folks at home.
All the world am sad and dreary,
Every where 1 roam
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary,
Far from the old folks at home.
All round the little farm 1 WANDERED,
When | was young
Den many happy days l squander'd,
Many the songs l sung.
When was playing wild my brudder,
Happy was l.
Oh, take me to my kind old mudder,
Dab let me live and die.
",
Every where | roam
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary,
Far from the old folks at home.
One little hut among de bushes
One dat love-
Still sadly to my memory rushes,
No matter where I rove.
When will hear the bees humming,
All 'mong the comb?
When will hear the banjo tumming,
Down in my good old home?
All the world am sad and dreary,
Every where 1 roam
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary,
Far from the old folks at home.
