"The Headless Horseman" - (Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow) - Cover by Becky Foster

Written by Don Raye and Gene de Paul

Every year since I was quite little, I've watched Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow, "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad;" the spooky legend of the Headless Horseman. My favorite tune in the short film is where Brom Bones (aka Bing Crosby) sings about this spooky tale! Basing mine off of the Kay Starr version, I just had to have some fun with this one this year!

Happy Halloween! And stay safe out there! 👻 🎃 🎶

"I know what I'm talking about."
Aww... That line SO needed to end with your head just toppling off your shoulders. Lol

Great cover. Never thought I'd say this, but step aside, Bing!

You have a very lovely voice. I love the rhythm and the lyrics you added.

Now, gather 'round while I elucidate
On what happens outside when it gets late
'Long about midnight the ghosts and banshees
Get together for their nightly jamborees
There's ghosts with horns and saucer eyes
And some with fangs about this size
Some short and fat, some tall and thin
And some don't even bother to wear their skin
I'm tellin' you brother, it's a frightful sight
To see what goes on in the night

When the spooks have a midnight jamboree
They break it up with fiendish glee
Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed
Is the Headless Horseman, he's the worst
When he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land
Holdin' a noggin in his hand
Demons take one look and groan
And hit the road for parts unknown
And there's no wraith like a spook that's spurned
They don't like him, and he's really burned
He swears to the longest day he's dead
He'll show them that he can get a head

So close all the windows, lock the doors
Unless you're careful, he'll get yours
Don't think he'll hesitate a bit
'Cause he'll flip your top if it'll fit
And he likes 'em little, likes 'em big
Part in the middle, or a wig
Black or white or even red
The Headless Horseman needs a head
With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop
He's out lookin' for a top to chop
So don't stop to figure out a plan
You can't reason with a headless man

So after dark, you kids be good
Stay at home, the way that you should
'Cause right outside, and waitin' there
Is the Headless horseman
Beware!

And I'm gettin' out of here
