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
|
