When It's Sleepy Time Down South

Pale moon shining on the fields below
Folks are crooning songs soft and low
Needn’t tell me so because I know
It’s sleepy time down south
Soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees
Folks down there like a life of ease
When old mammy falls upon her knees
It’s sleepy time down south
Steamboats on the river a coming or a going
Splashing the night away
Hear those banjos ringing, the people are singing
They dance til the break of day, hey
Dear old southland with his dreamy songs
Takes me back there where I belong
How I’d love to be in my mammy’s arms
When it’s sleepy time way down south
Dear old southland with his dreamy songs
Take me back there where I belong
How I’d love to be in my mammy’s arms
When it’s sleepy time down south
Sleepy time down south
