I'll tell you a story of a love and his flame you've read about him he's Ichabot Crane
|
He went a courtin' one night on his horse and Sleepy Hollow they both had to cross
|
While ridin' and thinkin' bout the girl he would wed
|
It was there that old Ichabot lost his head
|
Across Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow and follow and follow poor Ichabot Crane
|
Don't want to end up like Ichabot Crane who lost his head and went up in the flame
|
Sleepy Hollow I'm gonna evade that was the mistake that poor Ichabot made
|
I'm a losin' my head and startin' to burn ain't any too smart but I'm willin' to learn
|
You can't talk me in to a staying out late that was poor Ichabot's biggest mistake
|
Across Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow and follow and follow poor Ichabot Crane
|

|
In the legend of Sleepy Hollow tis said the horseman had a pumpkin for a head
|
My head may be sore and I may not be bright
|
Just one more little kiss and that's all for tonight
|
I'm afraid that your kisses will drive me insane and I'll end up like Ichabot Crane
|
I'm a headin' right home and a jumpin' in bed
|
That's the best way I know to hang on to my head
|
Across Sleepy Hollow your mem'ry will follow and follow and follow this Ichabot Crane
