| | Sleepy-Eyed John Lyrics Artist(Band):Johnny Horton
I whittled out a fiddle from a wagon seat. I tuned my fiddle and I rubbed my bow Play a little tune wherever I go. (chorus) Sleepy-eyed John, you better your britches on Sleepy-eyed John, better tie your shoe. Sleepy-eyed John, you better get your britches on And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you. Well, Sleepy-eyed John he stole a goose The goose he flopped but he couldn't get loose. Said John to the goose "If you don't be still, ' Miss our supper down in Candyville." (chorus) Well Sleepy-eyed John he had a wooden leg. The little leg was nothing but a little wooden peg. One shoe off and one shoe on He'll do the double shuffle 'til the cows come home. (chorus) Now I got twenty dollars for to build a fence I took my money and I ain't worked since. Sold my buggy and I sold my plow I wouldn't take a dollar for my journey now. (chorus) Well over the hickory and down the pine The raccoon laughed and the old hound whined. John said "Sic 'em" and the raccoon left They crossed Green River in a minute and a half. (chorus) If you find some error in Sleepy-Eyed John Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.

It's catchy and quick. Fun to play and dance to. Played by Tom & Jerry. I'd give it a nine on a scale of one to ten. Thanks for having it available. Johnny Horton Songs | Reviewer: KathyG | 11/21/2007 I appreciate all those who help us find lyrics. Some of these old songs would be forgotten and forever gone if we did not share in such a way. Our group gets together to pick and grin each week, and part of the fun is rediscovering some of the wonderful and lyrical. (meaning they have a tune as compared to the newer country western which is yelled, screamed or moaned in a tuneless dirge)Thanks for this site and these songs.
