ICHABOD CRANE
Written by Jim Reeves

I'll tell you a story
Of a love and his flame
You've read about him
He's Ichabod Crane

He went a-courting
One night on his horse
And sleepy Hollow
The both had to cross

While riding and thinking
About the girl he would wed
It was there that old Ichabod
Lost his head

Across Sleepy Hollow
A horseman did follow
And follow and follow
Poor Ichabod Crane

Don't want to end up
Like Ichabod Crane
Who lost his head
And went up in the flame

Sleepy Hollow
I'm gonna evade
That was the mistake
That poor Ichabod made

I'm losing my head
And I'm starting to burn
Ain't any too smart
But I'm willing to learn

You can't talk me in
To a-staying out late
That was poor Ichabod's
Biggest mistake

Across Sleepy Hollow
A horseman did follow
And follow and follow
Poor Ichabod Crane

In the legend of Sleepy
Hollow 'tis said
The horseman
Had a pumpkin for a head

My head may be soft
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 Ichabod Crane

I'm a-heading right home
And I'm jumpin' in bed
That's the best way I know
To hang on to my head

Across Sleepy Hollow
Your memory will follow
And follow and follow
This Ichabod Crane
