GO TO SLEEP CONSCIENCE
(Carl Story / Ernest Tubb)

Ernest Tubb & his Texas Troubadours - 1961



The party is over, the crowd has gone home
The glasses are empty and I’m all alone
She left a note sayin’ she’d meet me at nine
So, Go To Sleep Conscience don’t hurt me this time

She belongs to another, with you I’d agree
But please keep this secret between you and me
You know how I love her and that she was once mine
So, Go To Sleep Conscience don’t hurt me this time

For tonight I must see her and I know she will cry
As I hold her gently and tell her goodbye
It’s got to be over, it’s the end-of-the-line
So, Go To Sleep Conscience don’t hurt me this time

Ah Buddy now,
(Instrumentals)

For tonight I must see her and I know she will cry
As I hold her gently and tell her goodbye
It’s got to be over, it’s the end-of-the-line
So, Go To Sleep Conscience don’t hurt me this time
