John Prine Sleepy Eyed Boy Lyrics

Where are the boot-straps
To lift myself up?
Where is the well
Where I once filled my cup?
Where does this sorrow
All turn into joy?
And where, oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?

Where is my true love
When the wind starts to moan?
Is she out in the wildwood,
Is she there all alone?
Have I cast her aside
Like an unwanted toy?
Tell me where, oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?

He's a-goin' down the backroad
In the cold pouring rain
He's waiting for a postcard
In the south coast of Spain
Postmarked from a sweetheart
Back in old Illinois
Sayin' "Where oh where, is my sleepy eyed boy?"

Where are the boot-straps
To lift myself up?
Where is the well
Where I once filled my cup?
Where does this sorrow
All turn into joy?
And where, oh where is the sleepy eyed boy?

Where oh where, is my sleepy eyed boy?
Where oh where, is my sleepy eyed boy?
