Sleepy Toon - 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.
