《When It’s Sleepy Time Down South》歌词

[00:00:00] When It's Sleepy Time Down South (3/4/59) - Billie Holiday

[00:00:02] Homesick tired all alone in a big city

[00:00:13] Why should eveybody pity me

[00:00:23] Nighttime falling and I'm yearning for Virginia

[00:00:34] Hospitality within ya calls me

[00:00:46] Pale moon shining on the fields below

[00:00:54] Folks are crooning songs soft and low

[00:01:01] Need not tell me so

[00:01:04] Because I know it's sleepy time down south

[00:01:15] Softs winds blowing thru the pinewood trees

[00:01:23] Folks down there live a life of ease

[00:01:30] When the twilight brings the evening breeze

[00:01:37] It's sleepy time down south

[00:01:45] Steamboats on the river a coming a going

[00:01:52] Splashing the night away

[00:02:00] Hear those banjos ringing

[00:02:04] The folks are all singing

[00:02:08] They dance till break of day

[00:02:15] Dear old Southland with its dreamy songs

[00:02:23] Takes back there where I belong

[00:02:30] I'll find heaven in my mothers arms

[00:02:37] When it's sleepy time down south

[00:03:15] Dear old Southland with its dreamy songs

[00:03:23] Takes back there where I belong

[00:03:30] I'll find heaven in my mothers arms

[00:03:37] When it's sleepy time down south

[00:03:44] When it's sleepy time down south

[00:03:52] When it's sleepy time down south
