(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...
