Sleepy-Eyed John - Johnny Horton[00:00:00]
Well a-way down yonder on the Candy Creek[00:00:10]
I whittled out a fiddle from a wagon seat [00:00:12]
I tuned my fiddle and I rubbed my bow[00:00:15]
Play a little tune wherever I go [00:00:17]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:00:19]
You better your britches on[00:00:21]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:00:22]
Better tie your shoe [00:00:23]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:00:24]
You better get your britches on[00:00:25]
And try to get to heaven[00:00:26]
'Fore the Devil gets to you [00:00:27]
Well Sleepy-eyed John he stole a goose[00:00:38]
The goose he flopped[00:00:40]
But he couldn't get loose [00:00:41]
Said John to the goose "If you don't be still [00:00:42]
"Miss our supper down in Candyville "[00:00:45]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:00:47]
You better your britches on[00:00:48]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:00:50]
Better tie your shoe [00:00:51]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:00:52]
You better get your britches on[00:00:53]
And try to get to heaven[00:00:54]
'Fore the Devil gets to you [00:00:55]
Well Sleepy-eyed John he leg had a wooden[00:01:06]
The little leg was nothing[00:01:08]
But a little wooden peg [00:01:09]
One shoe off and one shoe on[00:01:11]
He'll do the double shuffle[00:01:13]
'Til the cows come home [00:01:14]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:01:15]
You better your britches on[00:01:16]
Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe [00:01:18]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:01:20]
You better get your britches on[00:01:21]
And try to get to heaven[00:01:22]
'Fore the Devil gets to you [00:01:23]
Now I got twenty dollars[00:01:34]
For to build a fence[00:01:35]
I took my money and I ain't worked since [00:01:36]
Sold my buggy and I sold my plow[00:01:39]
I wouldn't take a dollar for my journey now [00:01:41]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:01:43]
You better your britches on[00:01:45]
Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe [00:01:46]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:01:48]
You better get your britches on[00:01:49]
And try to get to heaven[00:01:50]
'Fore the Devil gets to you [00:01:51]
Well over the hickory and down the pine[00:02:02]
The raccoon laughed[00:02:05]
And the old hound whined [00:02:06]
John said "Sic 'em" and the raccoon left[00:02:07]
They crossed Green River in a minute and a half [00:02:09]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:02:12]
You better your britches on[00:02:13]
Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe [00:02:14]
Sleepy-eyed John [00:02:17]
You better get your britches on[00:02:18]
And try to get to heaven[00:02:19]
'Fore the Devil gets to you[00:02:20]
