ANSWER TO “WALKING THE FLOOR OVER YOU”
(Ernest Tubb)

Ernest Tubb - 1944


I left you and I went away the reason is needless to say
You know that I love you but it just could never be
All I ask from of dear is don’t blame it all on me

I’m walkin’ the floor same as you
What else is there for me to do
Every time I try to sleep my heartache start anew
I’m walkin’ the floor same as you

(Ah Jimmie Short walk awhile)
Instrumentals

Now years ago I thought that love was kind
I never had a worry on my mind
But all I’ve had is trouble since the day that we first met
No matter what I tell the world you know I love you yet

I’m walkin’ the floor same as you
What else is there for me to do
Every time I try to sleep my heartache start anew
I’m walkin’ the floor same as you

(Ah here comes Jimmie again)
Instrumentals

I pray that you’ll know in years to come
That you’re not the only lonely one
It’s tear for tear were shedding dear no matter who’s to blame
You may learn to hate me but I’ll love you just the same

I’m walkin’ the floor same as you
What else is there for me to do
Every time I try to sleep my heartache start anew
I’m walking the floor same as you
