Where are the boot straps
|
To lift myself up?
|
Where is the well
|
Where I once filled my cup?
|
Where does this sorrow
|
All turn into joy?
|
And where oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?
|
|
Where is my true love
|
When the wind starts to moan?
|
Is she out in the wild,
|
Is she there all alone?
|
Have I cast her aside
|
Like an unwanted toy?
|
Tell me where oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?
|
|
He's goin' down the backroads
|
In a cold pourin' rain
|
He's a waitin' for a postcard
|
In the south coast of Spain
|
Postmarked from a sweetheart
|
Back in ol' Illinois
|
Sayin' where oh where is my sleepy eyed boy?
|
