Ichabod Crane is a fictional character and the main protagonist in Washington Irving's short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, first published in 1820.
The name Ichabod comes from the biblical name of the grandson of Eli the High Priest and son of Phinehas. Irving may have borrowed the name from that of Ichabod B. Crane, a captain in the US Army during the War of 1812 whom he had met in 1814 in Sackets Harbor, New York.
According to a notation by Irving, the character of Ichabod Crane was based on a schoolteacher named Jesse Merwin, whom Irving befriended in Kinderhook, New York, in 1809. According to an 1894 article in The New York Times, "it [was] claimed by many that Samuel Youngs was the original from whom Irving drew his character of Ichabod Crane".
As described in the story, Ichabod Crane is a timid schoolteacher who travels to Sleepy Hollow to teach the children of the area. This, in company with his ability to ingratiate himself, persuades many of the townspeople to successively lodge him at their homes for a week at a time, which serves as his sole source of shelter. He follows strict morals in the schoolroom, including the proverbial "Spare the rod and spoil the child"; outside the schoolroom, he is shown to have few morals and no motive but his own gratification. Despite being thin, he is capable of eating astonishingly large amounts of food and is constantly seeking to do so. In addition to this, he is excessively superstitious, often to the extent of believing every myth, legend, tall tale, etc. to be literally true. As a result, he is perpetually frightened by anything that reminds him of ghosts or demons.

Genres: Comedy, Drama, Short,I'll tell you a story of a love and his flame you've read about him he's Ichabot Crane
He went a courtin' one night on his horse and Sleepy Hollow they both had to cross
While ridin' and thinkin' bout the girl he would wed
It was there that old Ichabot lost his head
Across Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow and follow and follow poor Ichabot Crane
Don't want to end up like Ichabot Crane who lost his head and went up in the flame
Sleepy Hollow I'm gonna evade that was the mistake that poor Ichabot made
I'm a losin' my head and startin' to burn ain't any too smart but I'm willin' to learn
You can't talk me in to a staying out late that was poor Ichabot's biggest mistake
Across Sleepy Hollow a horseman did follow and follow and follow poor Ichabot Crane

In the legend of Sleepy Hollow tis said the horseman had a pumpkin for a head
My head may be sore and I may not be bright
Just one more little kiss and that's all for tonight
I'm afraid that your kisses will drive me insane and I'll end up like Ichabot Crane
I'm a headin' right home and a jumpin' in bed
That's the best way I know to hang on to my head
