When It's Sleepy Time Down South Lyrics

Jimmy Dean When It's Sleepy Time Down South

Pale moon shinin' on the fields below
Oaks are croonin' so soft and low
No need tellin' 'cause I know
It's sleepy time down south

Soft wind blowin'
To them pinewood trees
Folks down there
They live a life of these

When my mama falls on her knees
It's sleepy time down south
Steam boats on the river
Keep a comin' and a goin'
Splashin' the night away

Hear the banjos ringin'
Folks keep a singin'
They dance till break of day

Dear old south land
With your dreamy song
Take me back there
That's where I belong

Oh, I'd love to be
In my sweet mama's arms
When it's sleepy time
Sleepy time down south
