When It's Sleepy Time Down South

Pale moon shining on the fields below          DM7                      Folks are crooning songs soft and low Needn’t tell me so beause   I   know     It’s sleepy time down south Softs winds blowing thru the pinewood trees Folks down there live a life of ease; When the twilight brings the evening breeze      It’s sleepy time down south Steamboats on the river a-comin’ and a-goin’ splashing the night away             Hear those banjos ringing the folks are alla-singin’ they dance till break of day                     Dear old Southland with its dreamy songs Takes me back there where I belong    How I’d love to be mother’s arms    When it’s sleepy time down south Steamboats on the river a-comin’ and a-goin’ splashing the night away              Hear those banjos ringing the folks are alla-singin’  they dance till break of day                    Dear old Southland with its dreamy songs Takes me back where I belong    How I’d love to be mother’s arms     When it’s sleepy time down south   When it’s sleepy      time  down south
