Ichabot Crane
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll tell you a story of a love and his flame
You've read about him he's ichabot crane
He went a courting one night on his horse
And sleepy hollow they both had to cross
While riding and thinking 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 losing my head and i'm starting to burn
Ain't any too smart but i'm willing to learn
You can't talk me into 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 soft 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 heading right home and i'm jumping in bed
That's the best way i know to hang on to my head
Across sleepy hollow your memory will follow
And follow and follow this ichabot crane
