Lyrics When It's Sleepy Time Down South - Louis Armstrong

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

The soft wind blowing through the pinewood trees
The folks down there live a life of ease
When old mammy falls on her knees, yeah
When it's sleepy time down south

Steamboats up the river, coming and going
Splashing the night away
You hear those banjos ringing
And all the people are all singing
And they dance 'til the break of day, oh

Dear Old Southland with its dreamy songs
You take me back where I belong
Right in my mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time down south

Dear Old Southland with its dreamy song
You take me back where I belong
Right in my mammy's arm
When it's sleepy time, sleepy time down south (yes Lanny)
