《When It’s Sleepy Time Down South》歌词

[00:00:00] When It's Sleepy Time Down South (故乡的夜晚已经到来) - Ethel Waters

[00:00:08] Now the pale moon shining on the fields below

[00:00:15] The folks are crooning songs soft and low

[00:00:21] You needn't tell me boy because I know

[00:00:27] When it's sleepy time down south

[00:00:33] Soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees

[00:00:40] The folks down there live a life of ease

[00:00:46] When old mammy falls on her knees

[00:00:52] It's sleepy time down south

[00:00:57] Steamboats on the river a coming or a going

[00:01:03] Splashing the night away

[00:01:09] You hear those banjos ringing all the people are singing

[00:01:16] They dance till the break of day

[00:01:22] Dear old southland with his dreamy songs

[00:01:29] Takes me back there where I belong

[00:01:35] How I'd love to been someone in my mammy's arms

[00:01:41] When it's sleepy time way down south

[00:01:50] Steamboats on the river a coming or a going

[00:01:56] Splashing the night away

[00:02:02] I can hear those banjos ringing all the folks are singing

[00:02:07] They dance till the break of day

[00:02:14] Dear old southland with your dreamy songs

[00:02:18] Take me back down where I know I belong

[00:02:25] Right here in my mammy's arms

[00:02:32] When it's sleepy time away down south
