(You're the reason I don't sleep at night)
I just lay here at night
Toss and I turn
Loving you so
How my heart yearns
You're the reason I don't sleep at night (don't sleep at night)
Walkin' the floor
Feelin' so blue
Smoke cigarettes
Drink coffee too
Honey, you're the reason I don't sleep at night (don't sleep at night)
I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me
But if I'm wrong, don't fail to call
Come over and keep me company (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Sometimes I go for a walk
Take a look at the moon
Strum my guitar
Sing a love tune
a- honey, you're the reason I don't sleep at night (don't sleep at night)
Walkin' the floor
Feelin' so blue
Smoke cigarettes
Drink coffee too
Strum my guitar
Look at the moon
Losin' sleep over you
I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me
But if I'm wrong, don't fail to call
Come over and keep me company (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Sometimes I go for a walk
Take a look at the moon
Strum my guitar
Sing a love tune
a- honey, you're the reason I don't sleep at night (don't sleep at night)
Walkin' the floor
Feelin' so blue
Smoke cigarettes
Drink coffee too
Strum my guitar
Look at the moon
Losin' sleep over you
You're the reason
You're the reason
You're the reason
I don't sleep at night

They say don't go on Wolverton Mountain,
if you're looking for a wife.
'Cause Clifton Clowers has a pretty
young daughter,
he's mighty handy with a gun and a knife.
Her tender lips are sweeter than honey
And Wolverton Mountain protects her there.
The bears and birds tell Clifton Clowers
If a stranger should wander there.
All of my dreams are on Wolverton Mountain.
I want his daughter for my wife.
I'll take my chances and climb that mountain
Though Clilfton Clowers, he may take my life
Her tender lips ....
I'm going up on Wolverton Mountain,
It's too lonely downhere below.
It's just not right to hide his dayghter
From the one who loves her so.
Her tender lips ...
But I don't care about Clifton Clowers,
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain,
I'm gonna take the girl I love.
I don't care about Clifton Clowers,
I'm gonna climb up on his mountain,
I'm gonna take the girl I love.
(repeat to fade)
