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 
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
