《Sleepy-Eyed John》歌词

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

[00:00:09] Well a-way down yonder on the Candy Creek

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

[00:00:14] I tuned my fiddle and I rubbed my bow

[00:00:16] Play a little tune wherever I go

[00:00:19] Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on

[00:00:21] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:00:23] Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

[00:00:26] And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you

[00:00:37] Well Sleepy-eyed John he stole a goose

[00:00:39] The goose he flopped but he couldn't get loose

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

[00:00:44] ' Miss our supper down in Candyville "

[00:00:46] Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on

[00:00:49] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:00:51] Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

[00:00:53] And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you

[00:01:05] Well Sleepy-eyed John he had a wooden leg

[00:01:07] The little leg was nothing but a little wooden peg

[00:01:10] One shoe off and one shoe on

[00:01:12] He'll do the double shuffle 'til the cows come home

[00:01:15] Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on

[00:01:17] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:01:19] Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

[00:01:21] And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you

[00:01:33] Now I got twenty dollars for to build a fence

[00:01:35] I took my money and I ain't worked since

[00:01:37] Sold my buggy and I sold my plow

[00:01:40] I wouldn't take a dollar for my journey now

[00:01:42] Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on

[00:01:45] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:01:47] Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

[00:01:49] And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you

[00:02:01] Well over the hickory and down the pine

[00:02:03] The raccoon laughed and the old hound whined

[00:02:06] John said "Sic 'em" and the raccoon left

[00:02:08] They crossed Green River in a minute and a half

[00:02:10] Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on

[00:02:13] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:02:15] Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

[00:02:17] And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you
