I'll tell you a story of a love and his flame You've read about him he's Ichabot Crane.
He went a courtin' night on his horse And Sleepy they both 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 Who lost his head and went in the flame.
Sleepy Hollow I'm gonna evade That was the mistake that poor Ichabot I'm a losin' my head and startin' to burn Ain't any too smart but I'm willin' to learn.
You can't talk me into a staying out late That was poor Ichabot's biggest mistake Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow And follow and follow poor Ichabot Crane.
In the legend of Sleepy Hollow tis said The horseman a pumpkin for a head My head may be sore and I may not be bright Just one more little kiss and all for tonight.
I'm afraid that your kisses will drive me insane And I'll end up like Ichabot Crane I'm a headin' home and a jumpin' in bed That's the best way I know to on to my head.
Across Sleepy Hollow your mem'ry will follow And follow and follow this Ichabot Crane...
