Sleepy-Eyed John--Johnny Horton
written by T. Atchison
Corrections welcome.

Capo I

INTRO: G  Cadd9   G  C  D

G
Well a way down yonder on the Canyon Creek
   C
I whittled out a fiddle from a wagon seat
   D
I tuned my fiddle and rasined my bow
N/C
Play a little tune wherever I go


CHORUS:
G                      C
Sleepy-eyed John, you better get yer britches on
G                        Cadd9     D
Sleepy-eyed John, better tie your shoes
G                     D
Sleepy-eyed John, you better get yer britches on
C                               D            G
Try to get to Heaven 'fore the Devil gets to you

BREAK

Well Sleepy-eyed John he stole a goose
The goose stayed plucked but it couldn't get loose
Said John to the goose if you don't stay still
We'll miss our supper down at Candyville

CHORUS 

BREAK

Well Sleepy-eyed John he had a wooden leg
The wooden leg was nothin but a little wooden peg
With one shoe off and one shoe on
He could do the double shuffle 'til the cows come home

CHORUS 

BREAK 

Now I got 20 dollars for I built a fence
I took my money and I ain't worked since
Sold my buggy and I sold my plow
Wouldn't take a dollar for my journey now

CHORUS 

BREAK

Well a over a hickory and down a pine
The raccoon left and the old hound wined
John said sic 'im and the raccoon left
They crossed Green River in a minute and a half

CHORUS
