Lyrics
Sleepy-eyed john he stole a goose, sleepy-eyed john
Sleepy-eyed john, you better get your britches on
Sleepy-eyed john, sleepy-eyed john
Sleepy-eyed john, the racoon left and the old hound whined Horton, i sold my buggy and i sold my plow
They crossed green river in a minute and a half, play a little tune wherever i go
sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe
you better get your britches on
Sleepy-eyed john, you better get your britches on
Sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe, you better get your britches on
Now sleepy-eyed john he had a wooden leg, you better get your britches on
Sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe, over the hickory and down the pine, sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe
Sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe, sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe
you better get your britches on
John said sick em, and the racoon left
I whittled out a fiddle from a wagon seat, try to get to heaven for the devil gets to you
You better get your britches on, sleepy-eyed john, sleepy-eyed john he stole a goose
With one shoe off and one shoe on, with one shoe off and one shoe on
You better get your britches on, sleepy-eyed john John, sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe
Try to get to heaven for the devil gets to you, do the double-shuffle till the cows come home Johnny, sleepy-eyed john
We ll miss our supper down in candy ville, sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe
You better get your britches on, i took 20 dollars for to build a fence
The wooden leg was nothing but a little wooden peg, try to get to heaven for the devil gets to you, i wouldn t take a dollar for my journey now
You better get your britches on, i sold my buggy and i sold my plow, the wooden leg was nothing but a little wooden peg
You better get your britches on, sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe John, sleepy-eyed john
Sleepy-eyed john, you better get your britches on
I took 20 dollars for to build a fence, sleepy-eyed john John, try to get to heaven for the devil gets to you
you better get your britches on
