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
I'm walking the floor over you...
[ guitar + steel ] 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 the day I die
I'm walking the floor over you...

RAINBOW AT MIDNIGHT

(Lost John Miller) « © '52 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
After the war was over I was coming home to you
I saw a rainbow at midnight out on the ocean blue
The stars in heaven were shining the moon gave its light from above
I saw your face in this rainbow and it made me think of our love
We'll build our home in the country and make all our dreams come true
There we will make a heaven sweetheart just for we two
[ steel ] Here we will live so happy and have a baby or two
We'll name them after the rainbow because it reminds me of you
After this life is over and our journey here is through
We'll move to the land of the rainbow and live in the stary blue

LET'S SAY GOODBYE LIKE WE SAID HELLO

(Ernest Tubb - Jimmie Skinner) « © '52 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
There's something wrong your love is gone I've no reason now to stay
We live and love we meet and part and broken hearts must pay
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
Your love sweetheart I won't forget you're always on my mind
You're all the happiness I knew so thoughtful sweet and kind
For old time sake I'm asking you to think of me some day
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
[ steel ] (I wish you happiness sweetheart in everything you do
May good luck always come your way and every dream come true)
I remember you and the love we knew the love of yesterday
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way
If I should meet some other dear and learn to love them too
I hope and pray somehow sweetheart they'll make me think of you
A tender smile an old love song a heart so light and gay
Let's say goodbye like we said hello in a friendly kind of way

ANOTHER STORY

(Arlie Duff) « © '67 Mike Curb Music, BMI »
No regrets no heart feeling it's over all the good times together are through
I'll have a lifetime of mem'ries to keep me going
I wouldn't take back one moment spent with you
I can't say that your leaving won't hurt me but it's nothing that time can erase
And someday this hurtin' will be over another story another time another place
And one day I'll be sittin' with another and suddenly a smile will cross my face
If she asks me what's so funny then I'll tell her
Another story another time another place
[ guitar ] So no regrets no heart feeling it's over yes it hurts me cause I'd lost out in the race
But someday this hurtin's gonna leave me another story another time another place
And one day I'll be sittin'...

THANKS A LOT

(Eddie Miller - Don Sessions) « © '63 Regent Music, BMI »
Thanks thanks a lot I got a broken heart that's all I've got
You made me cry now I cried a lot I lost your love baby thanks a lot

You told our friend as I was passin' by that you're not sorry that you made me cry
You said I deserve just what I got well if that's how you feel honey thanks a lot
Thanks thanks a lot...
[ guitar ] You wanted a fool and I played the part now all I've got is a broken heart
We loved a little and laughed a lot then you were gone honey thanks a lot
Thanks thanks a lot...

HALF A MIND

(Roger Miller) « © '58 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I don't love you like I used to do but I'm afraid to tell you so
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go
Words to tell you just don't come to me guess my courage is too slow
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go
[ steel ] Now time may prove that you're not to blame but now's the time I need to know
I've got half a mind to leave you but only half the heart to go

I'LL GET ALONG SOMEHOW

(Ernest Tubb) « © '57 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Many months have come and gone since you called me on the phone
To tell me that we were through
You thought it break my heart but I fooled you from the start
Cause I never did trust you
What you thought you were mighty wise to turn around with other guys
And still saying you were mine
While you had one or two I had a dozen more than you so you got to fooling that time
Oh let it rain and let it snow I don't care oh no no no I'll never worry now
You're the one that wasn't fair wasn't tame to play square I'll get along somehow
So you'll keep going your way I'll keep traveling mine
And at the end you'll need a friend you'll be the one to sit and pine
So let it rain and let it snow I don't care oh no no no I'll never worry now
You're the one that wasn't fair wasn't tame to play square I'll get along somehow
[ piano - guitar ] So you'll keep going your way...

WALTZ ACROSS TEXAS

(Billy T. Tubb) « © '65 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
When we dance together my world's in disguise it's a fairyland tale that 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 - ac.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
And I could waltz across Texas with you
Waltz across Texas...

IT'S BEEN SO LONG DARLING

(Ernest Tubb) « © '52 Unichappell Music, BMI »
It's been so long darling since I had to go away
It's been so long darling and I can't forget that day
Although you never mentioned it you cried that whole day long
It's been so long darling but now I'm coming home
It's been so long darling since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long darling do you really realize
That just the thought of seeing you it scares me through and through
It's been so long darling since I had a kiss from you
[ steel ] It's been so long darling but it won't be long now
It's been so long darling but I've kept every vow
I pray that you'll be waiting as you did in days gone by
It's been so long darling please don't blame me if I cry
It's been so long darling since I gazed into your eyes...

(R. Davis - W.E. Davis) « © '62 Ernest Tubb Music, BMI »
The jujekox just told my life story told it in the words of a song
So I'll have another drink to the jukebox and one to the man that wrote the song

Bring back the mem'ries of the past that was wrong
Here's another drink to you and the man who wtote the song
[ guitar ] So hear Mr Jukebox please take my last dime
Tell me the story of my life one more time
Bring back the mem'ries of the past that was wrong
Here's my last drink to you then goodnight and so long

I WONDER WHY YOU SAID GOODBYE

(Ernest Tubb) « © '57 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Your letter came this very day and it wiped all my dreams away
I've read it o'er a thousand times it's left me with a worried mind
I wonder why you said goodbye and did you mean to make me cry
I guess until the day I die that I will still be wondering why
[ steel ] I'd read the thought that we are through and that you found somebody new
I love you now I always will I'd rather die than say farewell
(I wonder why you said goodbye and did you mean to make me cry
I guess until the day I die that I will still be wondering why)
I hope and pray before my time that you'll come back and say you're mine
Bring back the love you took away and mend the heart you broke today
I wonder why you said goodbye...
