|
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 |
