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
