When It's Sleepy Time Down South

Dean Martin

    Continues after the ad

    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

    Dear old southland with his dreamy songs
    Take me back there where I belong
    How I'd love to be in my mammy's arms
    When it's sleepy time down south
    Sleepy time down south
