Walking the Floor Over You

Walking the Floor Over You
written and performed by Ernest Tubb, 1941

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

(chorus)
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
I'm walking the floor over you

Now someday you may be lonesome too
Walking the floor is good for you
Just keep right on walking, and it won't hurt you to cry
Remember that I love you and I will the day I die

(chorus)

live on the Opry in at least the late 1950s, with Kitty Wells looking beautiful in the background!
