《Sleepy-Eyed John》歌词

[00:00:00] Sleepy-Eyed John - Johnny Horton

[00:00:10] Well a-way down yonder on the Candy Creek

[00:00:12] I whittled out a fiddle from a wagon seat

[00:00:15] I tuned my fiddle and I rubbed my bow

[00:00:17] Play a little tune wherever I go

[00:00:19] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:00:21] You better your britches on

[00:00:22] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:00:23] Better tie your shoe

[00:00:24] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:00:25] You better get your britches on

[00:00:26] And try to get to heaven

[00:00:27] 'Fore the Devil gets to you

[00:00:38] Well Sleepy-eyed John he stole a goose

[00:00:40] The goose he flopped

[00:00:41] But he couldn't get loose

[00:00:42] Said John to the goose "If you don't be still

[00:00:45] "Miss our supper down in Candyville "

[00:00:47] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:00:48] You better your britches on

[00:00:50] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:00:51] Better tie your shoe

[00:00:52] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:00:53] You better get your britches on

[00:00:54] And try to get to heaven

[00:00:55] 'Fore the Devil gets to you

[00:01:06] Well Sleepy-eyed John he leg had a wooden

[00:01:08] The little leg was nothing

[00:01:09] But a little wooden peg

[00:01:11] One shoe off and one shoe on

[00:01:13] He'll do the double shuffle

[00:01:14] 'Til the cows come home

[00:01:15] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:01:16] You better your britches on

[00:01:18] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:01:20] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:01:21] You better get your britches on

[00:01:22] And try to get to heaven

[00:01:23] 'Fore the Devil gets to you

[00:01:34] Now I got twenty dollars

[00:01:35] For to build a fence

[00:01:36] I took my money and I ain't worked since

[00:01:39] Sold my buggy and I sold my plow

[00:01:41] I wouldn't take a dollar for my journey now

[00:01:43] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:01:45] You better your britches on

[00:01:46] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:01:48] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:01:49] You better get your britches on

[00:01:50] And try to get to heaven

[00:01:51] 'Fore the Devil gets to you

[00:02:02] Well over the hickory and down the pine

[00:02:05] The raccoon laughed

[00:02:06] And the old hound whined

[00:02:07] John said "Sic 'em" and the raccoon left

[00:02:09] They crossed Green River in a minute and a half

[00:02:12] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:02:13] You better your britches on

[00:02:14] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:02:17] Sleepy-eyed John

[00:02:18] You better get your britches on

[00:02:19] And try to get to heaven

[00:02:20] 'Fore the Devil gets to you
