Lyrics
- 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
Chorus
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
- Now darling, you know I love you well
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 - Now some day 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
