Written in 1851 by Stephen Foster, the song is also known as Way Down Upon the Swanee River after the first words of the lyrics.
He intentionally misspelled the river Suwannee so it would fit the melody. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Folks_at_Home

Hey Chuck, you are building quite a list of Civil War era tunes. I think you are ready to get some period clothes and show up at a reenactment. 
Nice job on this tune!
