Artist/Band: Jimmy Dean
Lyrics for Song: When It's Sleepy Time Down South
Lyrics for Album: 24 Greats [Deluxe] [1994]



(Leone Rene - Otis Rene - Clarence Muse)



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 pineywood trees

Folks down there they live a life of these

When my mama falls on her knees

It's sleepy time down south.



Stam 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...
