《Sleepy-Eyed John》歌词

[00:00:00] Sleepy-Eyed John - Jim & Jesse/The Virginia Boys

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

[00:00:11] I whittled out a fiddle from a wagon seat

[00:00:13] I tuned my fiddle and I rubbed my bow

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

[00:00:18] Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on

[00:00:20] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:00:22] Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

[00:00:24] And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you

[00:00:45] Well sleepy-eyed John he stole a goose

[00:00:47] The goose he flopped but he couldn't get loose

[00:00:49] Said John to the goose if you don't be still

[00:00:51] Miss our supper down in Candyville

[00:00:54] Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on

[00:00:56] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:00:58] Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

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

[00:01:08] Sleepy-eyed John he leg had a wooden

[00:01:10] The little leg was nothing but a little wooden peg

[00:01:12] One shoe off and one shoe on

[00:01:15] He'll do the double shuffle 'til the cows come home

[00:01:17] Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on

[00:01:19] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:01:21] Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

[00:01:23] And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you

[00:01:46] Well I got twenty dollars for to build a fence

[00:01:48] I took my money and I ain't worked since

[00:01:50] Sold my buggy and I sold my plow

[00:01:52] I wouldn't take a dollar for my journey now

[00:01:55] Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on

[00:01:57] Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe

[00:01:59] Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on

[00:02:01] And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you
