louis armstrong - when it’s sleepy time down south (live, 1955) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
now the pale moon’s shinin’ on the fields below
the folks are crooning soft and low
you needn’t tell me, boy, because i know, yes
when it’s sleepy time down south

[verse 2]
yes, the soft wind blowin’ through the pinewood trees
the folks down there live a life of ease
when old mammy falls on her knees, yes
when it’s sleepy time down south

[bridge]
yes, steamboats up the river comin’ and goin’ (scat)
splashing the night away (scat) oh yes
you hear those banjos ringing and the folks are singing
and they dance till the break of day, yes

[verse 3]
dear old southland with this dreamy song
you take me back where i belong
right in my mammy’s arms
(scat) good evening everybody
