| 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 |
