WHEN ITS SLEEPY TIME DOWN SOUTH 

F5                     F5 
Pale moon shining on the / fields below 
C5                     D5         
Folks are crooning songs / soft and low 
G5          Gb5             G5         E5 
Need not tell me so, be /cause I know it's 
F5       F5         C5 
Sleepy time down / south 


F5                         F5 
Softs winds blowing thru the / pinewood trees 
C5                    D5   
Folks down there live a / life of ease 
G5          Gb5                   G5      E5 
When the twilight brings the / evening breeze, it's 
F5      F5          C5 
Sleepy time down / south 


A5                 B5          C#5      C5 
Steamboats on the river, a / coming, a going 
B5            E5        A5        B5 
Splashing the night a / way  
A5                 B5             C#5            C5 
Hear those banjos ringing, the / folks are all singing, they 
B5         E5       A5 
Dance till break of / day 


F5                        F5 
Dear old Southland with its / dreamy songs 
C5                   D5         
Takes back there where / I belong 
G5       Gb5            G5      E5 
Ill find heaven in my / mothers arms, when it's  
F5      F5         C5 
Sleepy time down / south
