Sleepy Toon Lyrics & Chords By Wolfstone

It happened at last Whitson time
That I hae got no place
An' I gaed doon tae Inchfae
My fortune for tae chase.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
I met in wi' Adam Mitchell
An' a fee we did presume
He's a fairmer in Klenethlyn
At a place called Sleepytoon.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
If you an I agree says he
You'll get the fairest play
For I never bid my servants
Work above twelve hours a day.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
If a' be true you'll tell tae me
You think the place'll suit
An' I will gang along wi' you
Although you're an ugly brute.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
Well the order was tae bed at nine.
An' never leave the toon
For every time we left it
We'd be fined a half a' croon.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
Well we never heeded what he said
But aye we took the pass
Sometimes to buy tobacco
An' sometimes to court a lass.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
Well my neighbour was fined a many's a croon
But never lost the heart
An' I myself was fined a croon
For turning ow'r the cart.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
And now the time has come at last
An' we hae all gang free
An' we'll gang doon tae Tilford
Tae hae ourselves a spree.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
An' when we gang tae Tilford
We'll make the glass gang roond
We'll tell them o' the muses
That we got at Sleepytoon.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
Maybe we'll see auld Mitchell there
A' supping at his brose
I'll gie him a len o' my hankie
For tae wipe his snottery nose.
Sing I ree eritie a'ree
An' sing I ree eritie an.
