(Ernest Tubb)

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
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.

--- Instrumental ---

Now someday you may be lonesome too
Walking the floor is good for you
Just keep right on a walking and it won't hurt your pride
Remember that I loved you and I will to the day I die.

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.

Walking, walking...
