[Louis Armstrong]
Ah, the pale moon's shining, the fields below
Darkies crooning songs soft and low
You needn't tell me, boy, because I know
It's sleepy time down south
The soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees
Folks down there live a life of ease
When old mammy falls upon her knees
It's sleepy time down south
Oh, steamboats on the river a coming, a going
Splashing the night away
You hear those banjos ringing, the darkies singing
They dance 'til the break of day
Dear old southland with his dreamy song
Take me back to the [Gallant John?]
Oh, how I'd love to hold her in my arms
When it's sleepy time down south
