—Bill Monroe
Chorus:
Way down in the state of Florida Florida,
Where the old Swannee River flows
Where my sunshine is waiting for me (for me)
Way down where the orange tree grows
In my mind I can see the palm trees waiving
While the moon is shinin' so bright
I know she loved me, and her heart was breaking,
The night we said goodbye
I wanna go back to see my darling
And I wonder if she's still free
To me she's dear and sweet as honey,
And will she be waiting for me?

Way down where the orange tree grows
