When It's Sleepy Time Down South

Lyrics

Now, the pale moon's shining on the fields below
 The folks are crooning soft and low
 You needn't tell me, boy, because I know, yes
 When it's sleepy time down south
 Yes, the soft wind blowing through the pinewood trees
 The folks down there live a life of ease
 When old mammy falls on her knees, yes
 When it's sleepy time down south, yes
 Steamboats up the river, coming and going
 Splashing the night away
 Oh, yes
 You hear those banjos ringing
 And the folks are singing
 And they dance 'til the break of day, yeah
 Dear, old southland with his dreamy songs
 You take me back where I belong
 Right in my mammy's arms
 Whoa, good evening everybody
