'"Old Folks at Home" (also known as "Swanee River", "Swanee Ribber" [from the original lyrics], or "Suwannee River") is a minstrel song written by Stephen Foster in 1851. Since 1935 it has been the official state song of Florida, although in 2008 the original lyrics were expurgated. According to Joel Whitburn's "Pop Memories 1890-1954" (1986), "Old Folks at Home" was the best-selling sheet music song of the period, with over twenty million copies sold.'
