Sleepy Eyed John |
| Well away down yonder on the Candy Creek I wait a lot of fiddles on my wagon |
| seat |
| I tune up the fiddle and I rosin' that bow and I play a little tune wherever I |
| go |
| Sleepy eyed John better get your britches on sleepy eyed John better tie your |
| shoe |
| Sleepy eyed John you better get your bitches on |
| Try to get to heaven fore the devil gets to you |
| Well sleepy Eyed John had one wooden leg wadn’t nothin' but a little wooden peg |
| With one shoe off and one shoe on |
| He’d do the double shuffle till the cows come home |
| Sleepy eyed John… |
| Well over in the hickory and down in the pine |
| The racoon laughs and the hound dog whines |
| And the hound dog whines and the racoon laughs |
| And they cross that river in a minute and a half |
| Sleepy eyed John… |
| Hey sleepy eyed John once stalked a goose that goose it flapped but couldn’t |
| get loose |
| Said John to the goose well you better be still |
| I’m gonna miss my supper and tea if you will |
| Sleepy eyed John… |
| Sleepy eyed John… |
