Down the pale moon shining on the fields below
The folks are crooning songs soft and low
You needn't tell me boy because I know, yes
When it's sleepy time down south

Yes, the soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees
The folks down there live a life of ease
When old mammy falls on 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
