Sleepy Eyed Boy

[Verse 1]

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?

[Verse 2]

Where is my true love when the wind starts to moan?

Is she out in the wildwood, is she there all alone?

Have I cast her aside like an unwanted toy?

Tell me where oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?

[Verse 3]

He's goin' down the backroads in a cold pourin' rain

He's waiting for a postcard in the south coast of Spain

Postmarked from a sweetheart back in old Illinois

Sayin' where oh where is my sleepy eyed boy?

[Verse 1]

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?
