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 sleep
