I'll tell you a story of a and his flame You've read about him he's Ichabot Crane.
He went a courtin' one night his horse And Sleepy Hollow they both had to cross While ridin' and thinkin' 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 Ichabot Crane Don't want to end up 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 losin' head and startin' to burn Ain't any too smart but I'm willin' to learn.
You can't talk me a staying out late That was poor Ichabot's biggest mistake Across Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow And and follow poor Ichabot Crane.
In the legend of Sleepy Hollow tis said The horseman 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 end up like Ichabot Crane I'm a headin' right home and a jumpin' in bed That's the best way know to hang on to my head.
Across Sleepy Hollow your mem'ry will follow And follow and follow this Ichabot Crane...
