Rip Van Winkle

Rip Van Winkle born in the Colonies
Slept and snored did as he pleased
In the mountains of Catskill sat under a tree
Slept twenty years such a sight to see
Sleepin and a grinnin under the old oak tree
Sleepy old Rippy a mountain harmony

Twenty years that's mighty long
Snoozin and a snorin was his mountain song
Whiskers short went to sleep
Now three foot such a mighty leap

Rip Van Winkle born in the Colonies
Slept and snored did as he pleased
In the mountains of Catskill sat under a tree
Slept twenty years such a sight to see
Sleepin and a grinnin under the old oak tree
Sleepy old Rippy a mountain harmony

Twenty long years no eat or drink
Slept soundly no time to think
When he awoke he heard natures call
Runnin around searchin for a outhouse stall

Stomach grumblin after all these years
Chewin a turkey leg drinkin a beer
All the ladies a laughin downhome cheer
Rippy was a fumin he's seein red
All i want is twenty more years in a feather bed

I'm headin home you won't see me tonight
He's under his blankets, tucked in for the night
In the morning I'll be wide awake
Back to the Oak tree snorin by the lake

Rip Van Winkle born in the Colonies
Slept and snored did as he pleased
In the mountains of Catskill sat under a tree
Slept twenty years such a sight to see
Sleepin and a grinnin under the old oak tree
Sleepy old Rippy a mountain harmony

Rip Van Winkle under the old oak tree
Snorin and a snoozin enough sleep for you and me
When will he awake, no-one knows
Rip Van Winkle legend that grows and grows
