Now, the pale moon's shining on the fields below
The folks are crooning soft and low
You needn't tell me, boy, because I know, yes
When it's sleepy time down south
Soft wind blowing through the pinewood trees
The folks down there live a life of ease
When old mammy falls on her knees
When it's sleepy time down south
Steamboats up the river, coming and going
Splashing the night away
You hear those banjos ringing
All the dark is singing, yes
Baby, and they dance 'til the break of day
Oh, dear, Old Southland with its dreamy songs
You take me back where I belong
Right in my mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time down south
Dear Old Southland with its dreamy songs
Takes me back where I belong
Right in mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time
Sleepy time down south
