When It's Sleepy Time Down South

Now the pale moon shinin' on the fields below

The folks are crooning soft and low

You needn't tell me by because I know

When it's sleepy time down south

Soft winds blowing through the pine wood trees

The folks down there live a life of ease

When old mammy falls upon her knees

When it's sleepy time down south

Ver a coming or a going by

Splashing the night away

Hear those banjos ringing the people are singing

They dance 'til the break of day

Oh dear old southland with his dreamy songs

Take me back where I belong

Riding in mammy's arms
