Paroles
0:06Well a-way down yonder on the Candy Creek
0:12I whittled out a fiddle from a wagon seat
0:14I tuned my fiddle and I rubbed my bow
0:16Play a little tune wherever I go
0:19Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on
0:21Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe
0:23Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on
0:26And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you
0:37Well Sleepy-eyed John he stole a goose
0:39The goose he flopped but he couldn't get loose
0:42Said John to the goose "If you don't be still
0:44' Miss our supper down in Candyville "
0:46Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on
0:49Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe
0:51Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on
0:53And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you
1:05Well Sleepy-eyed John he had a wooden leg
1:07The little leg was nothing but a little wooden peg
1:10One shoe off and one shoe on
1:12He'll do the double shuffle 'til the cows come home
1:15Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on
1:17Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe
1:19Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on
1:21And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you
1:33Now I got twenty dollars for to build a fence
1:35I took my money and I ain't worked since
1:37Sold my buggy and I sold my plow
1:40I wouldn't take a dollar for my journey now
1:42Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on
1:45Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe
1:47Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on
1:49And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you
2:01Well over the hickory and down the pine
2:03The raccoon laughed and the old hound whined
2:06John said "Sic 'em" and the raccoon left
2:08They crossed Green River in a minute and a half
2:10Sleepy-eyed John you better your britches on
2:13Sleepy-eyed John better tie your shoe
2:15Sleepy-eyed John you better get your britches on
2:17And try to get to heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you
Well a-way down yonder on the Candy Creek 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 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 " 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
