When It's Sleepy Time Down South Lyrics - Dean Martin

Pale moon shining on the fields below 

Folks are crooning songs soft and low 

Needn't tell me so because I know 

It's sleepy time down south 

Soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees 

Folks down there like a life of ease 

When old mammy falls upon her knees 

It's sleepy time down south 

Steamboats on the river a coming or a going 

Splashing the night away 

Hear those banjos ringing, the people are singing 

They dance til the break of day, hey 

Dear old southland with his dreamy songs 

Takes me back there where I belong 

How I'd love to be in my mammy's arms 

When it's sleepy time way down south
