[length: 04:09]
[00:01.66]Homesick, tired, all alone in a big city
[00:13.07]Why should everybody pity me?
[00:22.76]Nighttime’s falling, and I’m yearning for Virginia
[00:34.13]Hospitality within ya calls me
[00:46.21]Pale moon shining on the fields below
[00:54.05]Folks are all crooning songs soft and low
[01:00.74]Ya need not tell me so
[01:04.28]Because I know it’s sleepy time down south
[01:14.86]Soft wind’s blowing through the pinewood trees
[01:22.10]Folks down there live a life of ease
[01:30.23]When the whole memory falls upon her knees
[01:37.18]It’s sleepy time down south
[01:44.54]Steamboats on the river, a-coming, a-going
[01:52.59]Splashing the night away
[01:59.56]Hear those banjos ringing
[02:03.74]The folks are all singing
[02:07.68]They dance ’til the break of day, say
[02:14.97]Dear old Southland with its dreamy songs
[02:23.05]Take me back there where I belong
[02:30.26]Oh, how I love to be in memory’s arms
[02:37.26]When it’s sleepy time down south
[02:43.25]
[03:14.96]Dear old Southland with its dreamy songs
[03:22.87]Take me back there where I belong
[03:30.12]Oh, how I love to be in memory’s arms
[03:36.99]When it’s sleepy time down south
[03:44.43]When it’s sleepy time down south
[03:51.75]When it’s sleepy time down south
[04:00.55]When it’s sleepy time
