Текст песни: Jimmy Dean. When It's Sleepy Time Down South.

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
