THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING IN TEXAS

(Ernest Tubb) « © '58 Unichappell Music, BMI »
There's a little bit of everything in Texas
Just look around and you will see
There's a little bit of everything in Texas
And a whole lot of Texas in me

There are forty seven states around it
And each of them have treaures of their own
And everything they boast of I sure found it
But we've got them all right here at home

And everything they boast of I sure found it
And really I'm not bragging you se
There's a little bit of everything in Texas
And a whole lot of Texas in me
[ steel - guitar ] There's a little bit of everything in Texas
Just look around and you will see
There's a little bit of everything in Texas
And a whole lot of Texas in me

Now if you love old sunny California
Or perhaps the hills of Tennessee
No matter what you love just come to Texas
And I'll bet my boots you will agree

And everything they boast of I sure found it
And really I'm not bragging you se
Cause there's a little bit of everything in Texas
And a whole lot of Texas in me

BLUE EYED ELAINE

(Ernest Tubb) « © '63 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Side by side we roll along sweetheart you and I
And to you I'll sing this song as the years go passing by
Times may be good or they're may be bad but you'll never frown
I couldn't find a sweeter pal if I'd search the whole world around

Blue eyed Elaine you're the sweetest thing and I love you so
And you'll always be the same no matter where we go
We'll travel here and we'll travel there and we'll never part
You'll always be my blue eyed Elaine and I'll be your sweetheart
[ steel ] When skies are grey and things go wrong we'll never fret nor sigh
But we'll just keep traveling on with our heads held up high
And when I gaze into your eyes your heart and soul I'll claim
Then you'll know the reason why I love you blue eyed Elaine

Blue eyed Elaine you're the sweetest thing...
Yes you'll always be my blue eyed Elaine and I'll be your sweetheart

WALKING THE FLOOR OVER YOU

(Ernest Tubb) « © '41 Unichappell Music, BMI »
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
Walking the floor over you

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

And I'm walking the floor over you...
[ instrumental part ] I'm walking the floor over you...
Yes I'm walking the floor walking the floor
I'm walking the floor over you

CORONATION DAY

(Gordon Jensen) « © '85 John Benson Publishing, ASCAP »
When these eyes will close not to open here again
And I vacate this tenement of clay
Please don't weep for somewhere in the presence of my Lord
It will be my coronation day

Coronation day in heaven's grand forever
Coronation day somewhere beyond the river
I'll hear the words
Well done the crown of life you've won
On my coronation day
[ steel ] At the very moment that I leave this world behind
Welcome home all heaven will say
And while the minds of men are wondering just what heaven will be
It will be my coronation day

Coronation day in heaven's grand forever...

WALTZ ACROSS TEXAS

(Talmadge Tubb) « © '65 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
When we dance together my world's in disguise
It's a fairyland tale that's come true
And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you

Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I'm lost in your charms
And I could waltz across Texas with you
[ steel - guitar ] My heartaches and troubles are just up and gone
The moment that you come in view
And with your hand in mine dear I could dance on and on
Why I could waltz across Texas with you

Waltz across Texas with you in my arms...
Yes I could waltz across Texas with you

SING BLUE EYED ELAINE AGAIN

(Justin Tubb) « © '85 Troubadour Two Music, BMI »
Daddy wrote Blue Eyed Elaine for my mama
And today it's still her very favorite song
It's the only one we ever sang together
So it means that much more to me now he's gone

Cause he told me once to sing it for my mother
And sometimes I almost hear him joining in
When I stand out on the stage of the Opry
And sing Blue Eyed Elaine again

Side by side we roll along and this memory lingers on
Yes I know he's here beside me right where he's always been
When I sing Blue Eyed Elaine again
[ guitar ] It's a shame I didn't get to see more of him
But I chose to try and make it on my own
Though we never got to travel much together
And I miss those happy times we might have known

But I know he's up there watching what I'm doing
I just hope he might have proved of what I've been
Cause I try to keep a small part of him living
When I sing Blue Eyed Elaine again

Side by side we roll along...

Yes I know he's here beside me right where he's always been
When I sing Blue Eyed Elaine again

I WILL MISS YOU WHEN YOU GO

(Ernest Tubb - Henry Stewart) « © '59 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
I will miss you when you go much more than you'll ever know
But I'll have your memory to keep you near
In my heart you will remain but it just won't be the same
I will miss a million things that make you dear

Your lovely ways make you so sweet I prayed the angels fair will keep
You're happiness so you'll be blessed just as you deserve to be
And as you travel on your way just remember that each day
Someone thinks of you and hopes you're happy dear
[ steel ] I wish for a silver star to shine brightly where you are
To guide your way throughout eternity
And when it's shining from above it will sparkle down with love
In all its glory for the world to see

Your kindly heart will help you find the happiness you have in mind
Your treasured chest will be the best cause it's filled with God's sunshine
I wonder why there are so few lovely people just like you
My but I will surely miss you when you go

BE BETTER TO YOUR BABY

(Justin Tubb) « © '72 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Be better to your baby and you'll have a better baby
Better love her before she walk out on ye
Be better to your baby and you'll have a better baby
Cause if you don't I'll steal her love doggone ye

And less I should forget you were the best love she can get
Cause if you don't she's bound to get unhappy
So be better to your baby and you'll have a better baby
And if you don't I'll steal her love by cracky
[ dobro - guitar ] Be kinder to your baby and you'll have a kinder baby
Cause if you want her love you got to earn it
So be better to your baby and you'll have a better baby
And if you don't I'll steal her love dat burn it

And less I should forget you were the best love she can get
You haven't been doing that exactly
So be better to your baby and you'll have a better baby
And if you don't I'll steal her love by cracky
Oh if you don't I'll steal her love by cracky

You gave me Texas and then Tennessee
You wrapped up your music and you gave it to me
The legacy you left me is more precious than gold
You've put a song in my soul
