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

Pale moon shinin' on the fields below 

Oaks are croonin' so soft and low 

No need tellin' 'cause I know 

It's sleepy time down south 

Soft wind blowin' 

To them pinewood trees 

Folks down there 

They live a life of these 

When my mama falls on her knees 

It's sleepy time down south 

Steam boats on the river 

Keep a comin' and a goin' 

Splashin' the night away 

Hear the banjos ringin' 

Folks keep a singin' 

They dance till break of day 

Dear old south land 

With your dreamy song 

Take me back there 

That's where I belong 

Oh, I'd love to be 

In my sweet mama's arms 

When it's sleepy time 

Sleepy time down south
