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 prayin' as my heart breaks right in two Walking the floor over you [ mandolin ] Now darling you know I love you well I love you more than I can ever tell I thought that you wanted me and always would be mine But you went and left me here with troubles on my mind
I'm walking the floor over you... [ banjo ] 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 to the day I die
