MENDY NEVER SLEEPS

Duet with Porter Wagoner

Writer Dolly Parton

Copyright 1970



Mendy is sixteen and uncontrolable Mendy is only a child

Mendy is in with the in-crowd Mendy is ever so wild

Mendy's hair hangs straight and long Mendy feels this is a must

Mini skirts and many friends and many horrors for us

Mendy finds a plenty to do but Mendy never sleeps

Mendy slips out of the house in the evening when the sun is sinkin'

Mendy is out with the in-crowd Mendy is smokin' and drinkin'

There's a different shine in Mendy's eyes and the color is gone from her cheeks

Mendy is a swinger but Mendy never sleeps

Mendy never sleeps and Mendy is growing weak

Mendy lies lifeless and limpid are her eyes now oh Mendy please don't go to
