Sleepy Eyed Boy

Lyrics
Where are the bootstraps 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 he out in the wild Is he there all alone? Have I cast him aside Like an unwanted toy? Tell me wherе oh where is my sleepy eyеd boy? He's goin' down to backroads In a cold pourin' rain He's waitin' for a postcard In the warm coast of Spain Postmarked from a sweetheart Back in old Illinois Sayin' where oh where is my sleepy eyed boy? Where are the bootstraps 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 my sleepy eyed boy?
