I’m walkin' the floor over you
I can’t sleep a wink that is true
I’m hoping and I’m prayin'
As my heart breaks right in two
Walkin' the floor over you
Well, you left me and you went away
You said that you’d be back in just a day
Well, you’ve broken your promise
And you left me here alone
I don’t know why you did, dear
But I do know that you’re gone
I’m walkin' the floor over you
I can’t sleep a wink that is true
I’m hoping and I’m prayin'
As my heart breaks right in two
Walkin' the floor over you
Now someday you may be lonesome too
Walkin' the floor is good for you
Just keep right on walkin'
And it won’t hurt you to cry
Remember, that I loved you
And I will the day I die
I’m walkin' the floor over you
I can’t sleep a wink that is true
I’m hoping and I’m prayin'
As my heart breaks right in two
Walkin' the floor over you
In 1978 I had the pleasure of seeing Ernest Tubb and the Texas Triubadors in Colorado Springs. That Saturday night is one of the most memorable nights of music I can recall.
My grandpa used to watch mr. Tubbs show all the time. I remember when my Ma and PA had to work making a living for me and my younger brother and they had to work at nights a lot. Old grandpa would watch me and my younger brother. I remember he would watch mr. Porter Wagoner show and Buck Owens on TV but his favorite was Mister Ernest Tubbs show. God Rest Your Soul grandpa I love you.
In 1978, at a honkey tonk in Colorado Springs, CO, I had the privilage to shake the hand of Ernest Tubb and each ogf the band, that was a special Saturday night.
