Mr. Sandman is een cover. De oorspronkelijke uitvoering is van het Vaughn Monroe Orchestra en stamt uit 1954. Het was het B-kantje van de single They Were Doing The Mambo.

Datzelfde jaar nog werd door diverse acts een cover uitgebracht. Veruit de bekendste versie is die van damesgroep The Chordettes, die de eerste plaats in de Amerikaanse hitlijst bereikte.

Zes jaar voordat Emmylou Harris met haar uitvoering de Top 40 bereikte, bracht de Nederlandse zanger Mike Rondell dit nummer al op single uit. Zijn uitvoering bleef echter steken in de Tipparade.

Songtekst

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister sandman, bring me a dream

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

Mister Sandman, bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a come hither gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace

Mister Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mister Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mister Sandman, bring us a dream
