Sleepy Eyed Boy

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?

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 wood

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 back roads

In a cold pourin' rain

He's a waitin' for a postcard

In the south coast of SpainPostmarked from a sweetheart

Back in ol' Illinois

Sayin' where, oh, where

Is my sleepy eyed boy?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?

Where, oh, where

Is the sleepy eyed boy?Where, oh, where

Is the sleepy eyed boy?

Where, oh, where

Is the sleepy eyed boy?
