The Boswell Sisters - When it`s sleepy time down south (1932).wmv

When It's Sleepy Time Down South (1932) Fleischer Studios, animated short premiered November 11, 1932; title song arranged, recorded for the film; no other tunes, The Boswell Sisters, Eddie Lang guitar. Despite that some of words in this lyrics are absolutely not done. I think the sisters were in good faith, but I think it's a bit a shame that they were naive in reproducing this lyrics. This song was written in 1930’s and in the 1940’s justly the discussion about this lyrics became a hot item. The song was used and popularised by Louis Armstrong as his opening song by his performances. And guess what, he lost many black fans because of using this lyrics. At last he changed this lyrics by: Pale moon shining on the fields below Folks are crooning songs soft and low Needn't tell me so because I know It's sleepy time down south Soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees Folks down there like a life of ease When old mammy falls upon her knees It's sleepy time down south Steamboats on the river a coming or a going Splashing the night away Hear those banjos ringing, the people are singing They dance till the break of day, hey Dear old southland with his dreamy songs Takes me back there where I belong How I'd love to be in my mammy's arms When it's sleepy time way down south Dear old southland with his dreamy songs Take me back there where I belong How I'd love to be in my mammy's arms When it's sleepy time down south Sleepy time down south About the Boswell sisters: they were children of a middle class family from New Orleans Louisiana. As mostly usual at that time the families personnel were black people. The sisters learned singing and developping a special feeling for rhythm thanks to their black nanny’s (that’s a reason that you can’t say that their sound is typically white). The family has a very good relationship with their personnel and vice versa. Unfortunately, racism seems to be an irreversible problem in mankind, I deeply regret that. I hope that mankind someday heals from this morbid trait. Kind regards, Aad
