Sleepy Eyes

Sleepy eyes and tired me

Did that nut fall from that tree?

I’m not sure, what did I see?

I’ll lay me down to snore a z.

When I wake I’ll crack that nut

See if I can tell you what

I will do to make the cut

That is an accomplishment

Never fear if that don’t work

I’ll cut a piece of your red shirt

I’ll set it in the pot to perk

And when it’s done, I’ll make a skirt

I’m sure I’ll think what next to do

I’ll pick up that old blackened shoe

I’ll throw it at the tree and you

Can beat me all but black and blue.
