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
