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?

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?
