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...
|
