I'M BITIN' MY FINGERNAILS AND THINKING OF YOU
(Ernest Tubb / Roy West / Ernest Benedict / Lenny Sanders)

Ernest Tubb & The Andrew Sisters - 1949
Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn – 1966


You’ve really got me worried now I must confess it’s true
I sit around twiddling my thumbs breaking my heart in two

I’m wondering if you love me so
The way you said you do
I’m Bitin' My Fingernails And Thinking dear Of You

Bitin' My Fingernails, Thinkin’ Of You
Don’t love nobody else It’s funny but It’s true
Just got a feeling maybe we’re though
I’m Bitin' My Fingernails And Thinkin’ dear Of You

If you think before you speak how happy I would be
You’d never hurt me deep inside You’d think the world of me
Instead you’d say what ever you please we’re not its true
Bitin' My Fingernails, Thinkin’ Of You

Bitin' My Fingernails, Thinkin’ Of You
Don’t love nobody else It’s funny but It’s true
Just got a feeling maybe we’re though
I’m Bitin' My Fingernails And Thinkin’ dear Of You

Ah come in Butter Ball
INSTRUMENTALS
Hot cinders

Bitin' My Fingernails, Thinkin’ Of You
Don’t love nobody else It’s funny but It’s true
Just got a feeling maybe we’re though
I’m Bitin' My Fingernails And Thinkin’ dear Of You

If you have plans to end it all I wish you’d tell me now
Don’t leave me thinking that someday that you’d leave me anyhow
For I’ll forget we ever met and find somebody new
Bitin' My Fingernails, Thinkin’ Of You

Bitin' My Fingernails, Thinkin’ Of You
Don’t love nobody else It’s funny but It’s true
Just got a feeling maybe we’re though
Bitin' My Fingernails And Thinkin’ Of You
