The Legend

(intro) BOOooooooooooooooooo

This is a tale that will make your hair turn white

Ichabod Crane disappeared one October night

A Hessian Trooper was searching for his head

He might have laid claim to Ichabod’s noggin instead

(V1)

You better watch out for Mr. Pumpkin’s ride

He lurks in Tarry Town searching for his prize

It’s on someone’s shoulders but square in his eyes

(Chr)

Just another night, another spooky night in Sleepy Hollow

Mr. Crane take flight…..you might not have your head…..tomorrow

(V2)

Well Brom Bones wanted Katrina for himself

None was prettier or of such health

But Ichabod was foiling Mr. Bone’s future wealth

(Chr)

Just another night, another spooky night in Sleepy Hollow

Mr. Crane take flight…..you might not have your head…..tomorrow

BOOoooooooooooooooooooo (Solos)

(V3)

Ichabod left the party, down the darkened road

He was startled as the headless horseman rode

There was the steed and a swinging sword

(chr)

Just another night, another spooky night in Sleepy Hollow

Mr. Crane take flight…..you might not have your head…..tomorrow

(V4)

From that day Brom walked an all too knowing strut  (What did you do?)

Some say Crane’s headless in a roadside rut (Shame on you)

Others say he ran back to Connecticut

This is CDCG&J's Halloween song submission

The song lyric is loosely based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I believe most are familar with this short story written by Irving Washington and first published in 1820. There have been many cartoons, stage musicals, and film adaptation of this story over the years so I thought it would make a good Mixposure Halloween song topic and submission. Although, it was a bit challenging to tell the tale in 4 short verses. DrC, Gary, and Rob have all performed up to the excellence that The Mixposure Family has come to expect from these great musicians. I may have written the song but they all very much a part of this song's creation and together we have given it some rockin' and spooky life!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm honored that these guy's let me hang with them musically...............

Get ready for Halloween and all the spooky cool songs that are starting to pop up.......Enjoy!
