Abner Jay – Swaunee Lyrics

Artist: Abner Jay
Song: Swaunee

I love
I love Swaunee
Swaunee River
I travelled all over the world singing this song

And when I sing this song in a foreign country like Russia or Yugoslavia
People stop eatin’, stop drinkin’, stand up and take their hats off and show respect
Because they say it’s America’s first, F-I-R-S-T, first song to become popular all over the world
Over the 130 years ago and its just as popular today

But the thing I can’t understand
The closer I get to the Swaunee River
The less appreciation folks show for this song
I wonder if they know where the Swaunee River is

Is it in Russia? No
Is it in Yugoslavia? No
Is it in North Dakota? No
Is it South America? No

South Georgia, runs on down through Okefenokee Swamp
Down through Florida
I was raised on that old Swaunee river
I used to lay down on my belly

And drink water from that old Swaunee
That’s why I’m so big, black and healthy
Right now, I’m older than any man in here
I got 16 youngins, got a baby 2 months old

Gonna get some more
I don’t have to have no pelt pills either
And my wife don’t take no birth control pill
I do all the doggone controlling at my house

Cuz when I get to feeling a little puny
I run down to that old Swaunee River
And lay down on my belly
I don’t want to drink from no container

It may be diseased
So I lay down on my belly
And drink from that old Swaunee ’til I thirst no more
The reason some of you men got such big belly’s

You don’t lay down on ’em enough
So I lay down on my belly
And drink from that old Swaunee River
Until all my miseries is gone

Lay down on my belly
Just layin’ down under a Sycamore tree on that old Swaunee River
Just drink drink drink ’til I become happy and merry
Lay down on that old Swaunee River

And drink ’til all my troubles is gone
I love
I love Swaunee
Swaunee River
