RIP VAN WINKLE

The Devotions



Note: This song has a "background" song played with the

main song and music, making it unusually difficult

to make out the words. Here is my attempt:



Intro: Sound of rolling bowling ball and falling pins.

"Wow-wee a strike!"



Background: Boom-boom, boom boom-a-boom-boom

Boom-boom, boom boom-a-boom-boom

Rip Van Winkle, Rip van Winkle

Sleep, sleep, sleep

Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle

Sleep, sleep, sleep



He fell asleep in the woods one day

(??-unclear) lost his way

That night he was (??-unclear) story

Nothing (??-unclear) ever joy

Those little men bowling in his dream

He left his nagging wife now

(Slept for 20 years)

Didn't bother to wake up

(He grew a long white beard)

This is how the story goes

(Listen my children and you will hear)

He fell asleep in the woods one day

(??-unclear) lost his way

That night he was (??-unclear) story

Nothing (??-unclear) ever joy

Those little men bowling in his dream



Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (snoring)

(rolling ball, pins falling, "wow-wee!")





Note: (??-unclear) means "This line is so badly

garbled that I can't even make a wild guess as to what the heck it's

supposed to be"
