When It's Sleepy Time Down South |
| How’d you like to do a little favor for us? |
| Come and join us in the chorus |
| Sing along one and all |
| With the little bouncing ball |
| Now if you like the songs about the land of cotton |
| This one will not be forgotten |
| Sing it loud, sing it low |
| Come one friends |
| Sing «sleepy time down south» |
| Pale moon’s shining on the the fields below |
| Darkies crooning soft and low |
| You needn’t tell me, honey, cause I know |
| It’s sleepy time down south |
| Soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees |
| Folks down there live a life of ease |
| When old mammy falls up on her knees |
| It’s sleepy time down south |
| Steamboats on the river comin' and goin' |
| Splashing the night away |
| Hear those banjos ringin', darkies a-singin' |
| They dance 'til break of day, oh |
| Dear old southland with her dreamy song |
| Take me there where I belong |
| How I’d love to be in mammy’s arms |
| When it’s sleepy time down south |
| Pale moon’s shining on the fields below |
| Darkies croonin' soft and low |
| You needn’t tell me, honey, cause I know |
| It’s sleepy time down south |
| Soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees |
| Folks down there live a life of ease |
| When old mammy falls up on her knees |
| It’s sleepy time down south |
| Steamboats on the river comin' a-goin' |
| Splashing the night away, oh |
| Hear those banjos ringin', darkies a-singin' |
| They dance 'til break of day |
| Dear old southland with her dreamy song |
| Take me there where I belong |
| How I’d love to be in mammy’s arms |
| When it’s sleepy time down south |
