I'll tell you a story of a love and flame You've read about him he's Ichabot Crane.
He went a courtin' one night on his horse And Sleepy Hollow they had to cross While ridin' and thinkin' bout the girl he would wed It was 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 lost his head and went up in the flame.
Sleepy Hollow I'm gonna evade That was the mistake that poor made I'm a losin' my head and startin' to burn Ain't any too smart but I'm willin' 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 had a pumpkin 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 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 your mem'ry will follow And follow and follow this Ichabot Crane...
