[Verse 1]
Moon is creeping up behind the levee
Pickaninny's eyelids are getting mighty heavy
Down in the southland, sandman's on his way
It's slumbertime along the Swanee
[Verse 2]
Hush of the evening falls on every cabin
Birds are feather nesting and crickets starts to gabbin'
That's when the sandman's busy as a bee
It's slumbertime along the Swanee
[Bridge]
Little cold black roses tired from play
All tumble into bed
Soon they'll all be dreamin'
About molasses and shortenin' bread
[Verse 3]
Moon comes high up peeping through the willows
Little dusky darlings are sleeping on their pillows
Down in the southland, sandman goes his way
It's slumbertime along the Swanee
Moon is creeping up behind the levee
Pickaninny's eyelids are getting mighty heavy
Down in the southland, sandman's on his way
It's slumbertime along the Swanee
[Verse 2]
Hush of the evening falls on every cabin
Birds are feather nesting and crickets starts to gabbin'
That's when the sandman's busy as a bee
It's slumbertime along the Swanee
[Bridge]
Little cold black roses tired from play
All tumble into bed
Soon they'll all be dreamin'
About molasses and shortenin' bread
[Verse 3]
Moon comes high up peeping through the willows
Little dusky darlings are sleeping on their pillows
Down in the southland, sandman goes his way
It's slumbertime along the Swanee
