Ernest Tubb

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.

He remembers the first time he met her 
He remembers the first thing she said
He remembers the first time he held her 
And the night that she came to his bed
He remembers her sweet way of saying 
"Honey has something gone wrong"
He remembers the fun and the teasing 
And the reason he wrote her this song

I'll give you a daisy a day, dear 
I'll give you a daisy a day
I'll love you until the rivers run still 
And the four winds we know blow away

They would walk down the street in the evening 
And for years I would see them go by
And their love that was more than 
The clothes that they wore
Could be seen in the gleam of their eyes
As a kid they would take me for candy 
And I'd love to go tagging along
Holding hands while we walked to the corner
And the old man would sing her his song
"I'll give you a daisy a day dear..."

Now he walks down the street in the evening 
And he stops by the old candy store
And I somehow believe he's believing 
That he's holding her hand like before
For he feels all her love walking with him 
And he smiles at the things she might say
Then the old man walks up to the hilltop 
And he gives her a daisy a day
I'll give you a daisy a day dear
I'll give you a daisy a day
