You sleeping John, you sleeping John
Don't you know your wife's at home
Wiping her eyes and tearing her hair
For you sleeping John
(Chorus)
Sleep away, sleep away
Till you break your heart away
Sleep away, sleep away
Till the Judgment Day
(Verse 2)
You had money enough to build you a house
And enough to buy your wife a cow
But you spent all your money on the whores John
Leaving your poor wife and children to roam
