Lyrics
Pale moon shining on the fields below
Colored folks singing 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 live a life of ease
When old Mammy falls upon her knees
It's sleepy time down South
Steamboats on the river a-coming and a-going
Splashing the night away
Hear those banjos ringing and the colored folks singing
They dance 'til the break of day
Dear old Southland with its dreamy songs
Takes me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be in Mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time down South
Steamboats on the river a-coming and a-going
Splashing the night away
Hear those banjos ringing and the colored folks singing
They dance 'til the break of day
Dear old Southland with its dreamy songs
Takes me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be in Mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time down South
