JUDY GARLAND: 'SWANEE' FROM 'A STAR IS BORN'.
Judy performed 'Swanee' in A Star Is Born, & it became a part of her concert & recording legacy.
The song was George Gershwin's first and biggest pop hit, and one of the most memorable songs ever written. Late in the summer of 1919, Gershwin wrote the song with legendary lyricist Irving Caesar. The two sat atop a Manhattan bus and composed most of the song en route from T.B. Harms Publishing Company to Gershwin's apartment. When they arrived, Gershwin and Caesar worked out the kinks on the piano, and within a few hours,'Swanee'was born.
'Swanee' received very little notice when it was first introduced ... until Al Jolson. As soon as Jolson heard the song, he fell in love with it.
I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd missed you so
Somehow I feel
You love is real
Near you I long to/wanna be
The birds are singin', it is song time
The banjos strummin' soft and low
I know that you
Yearn for me too
Swanee ! You're calling me !
Chorus :
Swanee !
How I love you, how I love !
My dear ol' Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in
D-I-X-I-E-ven no[w]My mammy's
Waiting for me
