Sleepy-Eyed John - Johnny Horton - 80 bpm

 [G]Well I went down []yonder on []Caney []Creek
 []Whittled out a []fiddle from my [D7]wagon []seat
 [G]Tuned my []fiddle, []rosined my []bow
 []Played a little []tune where [D7]ever I [G]go

		[G]Sleepy-Eyed []John you []better get your []britches on
		[]Sleepy-Eyed []John better [D7]tie your []shoe
		[G]Sleepy-Eyed []John you []better get your []britches on
		[]Try to get to []heaven before the [D7]devil gets [G]you

 [G]Sleepy-Eyed []John he []stole a []goose
The []goose he []flopped but he [D7]couldn't get []loose
 [G]Said John to the []goose, if you []don't be []still
We'll []miss our []supper down at [D7]Caney [G]Hill

[::17::repeat chorus]

 [G]Sleepy-Eyed []John he had a []wooden []leg
 []The leg wasn't []nothing but a [D7]little wooden []peg
 [G]One shoe []off and []one shoe []on
He could []do the double []shuffle 'til the [D7]cows come [G]home
[::17::repeat chorus]

Well I [G]got twenty []dollars for to []build a []fence
 []Took my []money and I [D7]ain't worked since
 [G]Sold my []donkey and I []sold my []plow
And I []wouldn't take a []dollar for my [D7]journey [G]now
