Teddi King
When It's Sleepy Time Down South
Homesick, tired, all alone in a big cityWhy should everybody pity me?Nighttime falling, and I'm yearning for VirginiaHospitality within ya calls mePale moon shining on the fields belowFolks are crooning songs soft and lowNeed not tell me so,Because I know it's sleepy time down southSoft winds blowing through the pinewood treesFolks down there live a life of easeWhen the twilight brings the evening breezeIt's sleepy time down southSteamboats on the river, a coming, a goingSplashing the night awayHear those banjos ringing,The folks are all singingThey dance till break of dayDear old Southland with it's dreamy songsTakes back there where I belongI'll find heaven in my mothers armsWhen it's sleepy time down south
