Pale moon shining on the fields below,
D DM7 E7 Bm9 Bb9
Folks are crooning songs soft and low,
Em7 G/B A7sus4 A7+5 A7 G
Needn't tell me so, be - cause I know
Gm D
It's sleepy time down south.
GM7 G6 Gm Gm7
Softs winds blowing thru the pinewood trees,
D DM7 E7 Bm9 Bb9
Folks down there live a life of ease;
Em7 G/B A7sus4 A7+5 A7 G
When the twilight brings the eve - ning breeze,
Gm D
It's sleepy time down south.

F# Bbm B C#7
Steamboats on the river, a-comin' and a-goin',
C#7 F3
Splashing the night away
F# Bbm B C#7
Hear those banjos ringing, the folks are alla-singin' --
B C#7 A7
They dance till break of day.
GM7 G6 Gm Gm7
Dear old Southland, with its dreamy songs,
D DM7 E7 Bm9 Bb9
Takes me back there where I belong;
Em7 G/B A7sus4 A7+5 A7 G
How I'd love to be moth - er's arms
Gm D
When it's sleepy time down south.
