Song Lyrics

With one shoe off and one shoe on, i took 20 dollars for to build a fence, sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe
we ll miss our supper down in candy ville
do the double-shuffle till the cows come home
Sleepy-eyed john he stole a goose, they crossed green river in a minute and a half, with one shoe off and one shoe on
The wooden leg was nothing but a little wooden peg, play a little tune wherever i go Horton, you better get your britches on
Sleepy-eyed john, over the hickory and down the pine
You better get your britches on, you better get your britches on

You better get your britches on, sleepy-eyed john Horton, try to get to heaven for the devil gets to you
over the hickory and down the pine
Try to get to heaven for the devil gets to you, you better get your britches on
You better get your britches on, do the double-shuffle till the cows come home Sleepy-Eyed, sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe
sleepy-eyed john
You better get your britches on, do the double-shuffle till the cows come home John, sleepy-eyed john
You better get your britches on, i wouldn t take a dollar for my journey now

The wooden leg was nothing but a little wooden peg, try to get to heaven for the devil gets to you
With one shoe off and one shoe on, sleepy-eyed john
Try to get to heaven for the devil gets to you, you better get your britches on
you better get your britches on
The racoon left and the old hound whined, sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe, sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe
Sleepy-eyed john, the wooden leg was nothing but a little wooden peg
sleepy-eyed john better tie your shoe

The goose she clucked but she couldn t get loose, you better get your britches on John, i tune my fiddle and i rub my bow
over the hickory and down the pine
sleepy-eyed john
you better get your britches on
