They got a vintage Victrola 1951
Full of my favorite records that I grew up on
They got ole Hank and Lefty and there's B24
Set 'em up Joe and play "Walking The Floor"
Set 'em up Joe and play "Walking The Floor"

I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' E.T. and I'll play 'em some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours
Set 'em up Joe and play "Walking The Floor"
Set 'em up Joe and play "Walking The Floor"

All my neon neighbors they like what I play
'Cause they've heard it every night since you've walked away
Every day they replace old B24
'Cause every night I run a needle through "Walking The Floor"
Every night I run a needle through "Walking The Floor"

I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' E.T. I'm gonna play 'em some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours
Set 'em up Joe and play "Walking The Floor"
Set 'em up Joe and play "Walking The Floor"

I said "Set 'em up Joe and play "Walking The Floor"
Set 'em up Joe and play "Walking The Floor"

Vern Gosdin

Vern Gosdin (August 5, 1934 – April 28, 2009) was an American country music singer. He idolized The Louvin Brothers and The Blue Sky Boys as a young man and sang in a gospel quartet called The Gosdin Brothers. An inheritor of the soulful honky tonk style of Lefty Frizzell and Merle Haggard, Gosdin was nicknamed The Voice by his peers. He had 19 top-ten solo hits on the Country music charts from the late 1970s through the early 1990s. Three of these hits went to number one: "I Can Tell By the Way You Dance (You're Gonna Love Me Tonight)", "Set 'Em Up Joe" and "I'm Still Crazy". more »
