Nelson, Willie - I Didn't Sleep A Wink Lyrics






Didn't sleep a wink last night,
'Cause you walked out the night before.
Just been sittin' here, rottin', hoping you'd come knockin',
Knocking at my door.

Watched the moon pass by my window,
The stars faded out of sight.
The sun came into view, an' still I thought of you,
An' I didn't sleep a wink last night.

Tryin' to remember what I'd done,
To make you treat me so.
What have I been guilty of?
Well, I'd just like to know.

Thought if we could talk it over,
Maybe I could make things right.
'Cause until I'm forgiven, I'm exisitin', I'm not livin',
An' I didn't sleep a wink last night.
I didn't sleep a wink last night.

    OK, I realize that this song was released on an LP called Early Willie. The truth is that's not Willie. The song was written and sung by steel guitar great Jimmy Day. Jimmie was playing steel with Willie and his writing and singing were both greatly influenced by Willie. They both cut demos in the same studio and this one of Jimmie's got mixed in with Willie's on the LP.

    Willie and Jerry Lee Lewis are the successors of the blues based Western Swing of Jimmie Rodgers, Moon Mullican and Bob Wills and this song is proof. Excellent.
