Walking the Floor Over You

(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 prayin'

As my heart breaks right in two

Walking the floor over you.



--- Instrumental ---



Now darling, you know I love you

Well, I love you more than I can ever tell

I thought that you wanted me

And always would be mine

But you went and left me here

With troubles on my mind.



I'm walking 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

Walking the floor over you.



--- Instrumental ---



Now someday you may be lonesome too

Walking the floor is good for you

Just keep right on 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 prayin'

As my heart breaks right in two

Walking the floor over you...
