Lyrics When It's Sleepy Time Down South - Remastered - Louis Armstrong & His All-Stars

Now the pale moon shinin' on the fields below
The folks are crooning soft and low
You needn't tell me by because I know
When it's sleepy time down south
Soft winds blowing through the pine wood trees
The folks down there live a life of ease
When old mammy falls upon her knees
When it's sleepy time down south
Steamboats on the river a coming or a going by
Splashing the night away
Hear those banjos ringing, the people are singing
They dance 'til the break of day
Oh dear old southland with his dreamy songs
Take me back, where I belong
Riding in mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time way down south
Dear old southland with his dreamy songs
Take me back, where I belong
Riding in my mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time down south
Sleepy time down south
Yes
