The Legend of Sleepy Hollow part 3 of 4

Here are the lyrics to that timeless song written by Don Rage and Gene De Paul.

The Headless Horseman:

Just gather 'round and I'll elucidate
What goes on outside when it gets late
Along about midnight the ghosts and banshees
They get together for their nightly jamboree

There's things with horns and saucer eyes
Some with fangs about this size
Some are fat and some are thin
And some don't even wear their skin

I'm telling you, brother, it's a frightful sight
To see what goes on Halloween night

When the spooks have a midnight Jamboree
They break it up with fiendish glee
Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed
It's the Headless Horseman, he's the worst

That's right, he's a fright, on Halloween night

But when he goes a-joggin' 'cross the land
Holdin' his noggin in his hand
Demons take one look and groan
And hit the road for parts unknown

Beware, take care, he rides alone

And there's no spook, like a spook who's sporned
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

They say he's tired of his flamin' top
He's got a yen to make a swap
So he rides one night each year
To find a head in the hollow here

Now he likes them little, he likes them 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

Now if you doubt this tale is so
I met that spook just a year ago
Now, I didn't stop for a second look
But made for the bridge that spans the brook
For once you've crossed that bridge, my friend

The ghost is through, his power ends

So when you're riding home tonight
Make for the bridge with all your might
He'll be down in the hollow there
He needs your head, look out, beware

With a hip-hip and a clippity-clop
He's out looking for a head to swap
So don't try to figure out a plan
You can't reason with a headless man

This song and the hands covering the moon were the creepiest parts of this whole movie for me as a kid. Who knew I would grow up to be a haunt actor/horror enthusiast, and this is one of my favorites!!!!!!

[slaymaster999]

@coasterjudge well yea the crickets are saying what sounds like "thats right be afraid" and the frogs saying headless horseman, and u hear a wolf howling in the background and all these creepy looking branches and shadows, but when the horseman does appear, hes not as scary lol i did notice that

[slaymaster999]

i love how ichobad's horse looks like a derp, yet the headless horsemans looks like a freaking demon!

The old man looks like a cross between Boris Karloff, Vincent Price and Peter Cushing

@Cha2002 thats the whole point of the story, you dont know if the horseman killed him or Brom scared him off

@creepydoll415 Yeah those were hella creepy, also the pale-skinned man freaked me out alot as a kid. how I miss the old disney

Bing Crosby has an awesome voice



[Cha2002]

Actually, I'm beginning to think that Brom scared Ichabod away. He didn't kill him.
