Biography:
Ernest Dale Tubb (February 9, 1914 – September 6, 1984), nicknamed the Texas Troubadour, was an American singer and songwriter and one of the pioneers of country music. His biggest career hit song, "Walking the Floor Over You" (1941), marked the rise of the honky tonk style of music. In 1948, he was the first singer to record a hit version of "Blue Christmas", a song more commonly associated with Elvis Presley and his mid-1950s version. Another well-known Tubb hit was "Waltz Across Texas" (1965)

Walking The Floor Over You
Ernest Tubb
C F
You left me and you went away
G
You said that you'd be back and just that day
C
You've broken your promise and you left me here alone
G G
I don't know why you did dear, but I do know that you're gone
Chorus:
C F
I'm walking the floor over you
G C
I can't sleep a wink that is true
C F
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
G C
Walking the floor over you
Instrumental
Now darling you know I love you well
I love you more than I can ever tell
I thought that you loved me and always would be mine]
But you went and left me here with troubles on my mind
Chorus
Instrumental
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
