Then Maybe I Can Get Some Sleep

Buck Owens · The Great White Horse (w.Susan Raye) [Capitol] [1970]

Gotta find out who's a callin' you

When it ain't me a callin'

Gotta put a stop to your stallin'

Then maybe I can get some sleep.



Gonna engage Dick Tracy

I might retain Perry Mason

To investigate this situation

Then maybe I can get some sleep.



(Gonna have to teach you a lesson

On how to recognize love's blessin'

Till then I'll just have to keep me guessin'

And you'll never ever get no sleep.)



Has someone been a stealing my sugar

Has someone been a singing my song

Has there been a hand in the cookie jar

Has someone been a eatin' my honeycomb.



Gonna get you down to the courthouse

I'm sick and tired of bein' a man-mouse

I'll get us a licence to keep house

Then maybe I can get some sleep.

We'll, get us a licence to keep house

Then maybe we can get some sleep.



(Honey, honey, you're not tired are ya

Honey, wake up oh, anymore

All ya ever do is sleep, Oh well)
