When I was a youngster I used to listen to a song and I remember the chorus. But cannot seem to find out who recorded it. It went "Do you mind when you go out that door go softly, do you mind if you leave me sleeping."

I googled the lyric and came up with Frankie McBride 1967. Can't find any audio or lyric page. I don't recall the song or Frankie McBride but he was from Ireland and had a #2 song "Five Little Fingers" with "Do You Mind If You Leave Me Sleeping" on the B side

I think it was Johnny Horton or Lefty Frazell, maybe Dave Dudley, I am hoping someone will know.

Heck. I have a hard time remembering yesterday (and I don't mean the song by the Stones, I mean the Kinks, OH I mean the Animals. Oh heck, I forget that too).

"Do You Mind If You Leave Me Sleeping."
Is it me, or is there something grammatically wrong with that statement? It doesn't sound right. Confused

Go to youtube...type: Matt Monro Softly As I Leave You...could be it. This song was done by Elvis too, but Matt did it best.

Chris, I don't think that is the one he is talking about. The words he remembers are not the anywhere in the song you posted. And...

No way could Matt Munro be mistaken for Dave Dudley or Lefty Frizell. I still think Dave H, had it right.

Hi Richard. Point taken for sure. It's just that Niels doesn't seem convinced.

Maybe Hank Snow, on the album from a "crack in this boxcar door"? Does anybody know the best source for discographies?

Lots of "train" stuff but I didn't see the album you referenced.

At least there's something chronologicaly wrong, he or she wouldn't say this while sleeping. Better: "Dou you mind if you let me sleep again?"
Never mind I'm only trying to be funny. Oh Well

"In the future, would you mind letting me sleep?"

Ah, that's much better...

Sounds like Billy "Crash" Craddock's "Walk Softly", about 1975.

"Walk softly when you walk by me cause my heart is still, don't shake it up
Now that I've cried my love to sleep don't wake it up, don't wake it up"
