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
|
[ guitar ]
|
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...
|
[ guitar ]
|
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...
|
[ guitar ]
|
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...
