Walking the Floor Over You

Skeeter Davis · Foggy Mountain Top (RCA Camden) [1971]

(Ernest Tubb)



You left me and you went away

You said that you'd be back in just a day

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 walking the floor over you

I can't sleep a wink that is true

I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two

Walking the floor over you.



--- Instrumental ---



Now someday you may be lonesome too

Walking the floor is good for you

Just keep right on a walking and it won't hurt your pride

Remember that I loved you and I will to the day I die.



I'm walking the floor over you

I can't sleep a wink that is true

I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two

Walking the floor over you.



Walking, walking...
