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.

She's the first one on the dance floor 
When the music starts to play
She's the first to buy the band around the drink
She's just out to have a good time 
Dances every set they play
And she don't care what anybody thinks
She's a sad and lonely Texas dance hall girl
Who's just tryin' to bring a smile 
To this old world
But behind the smile a broken heart 
Lives in another world
She's a sad and lonely 
Texas dance hall girl

No one really knows the story that
There's an old love on her mind
'Cause the certain song brings 
Teardrops to her eyes
But they only dare a minute 
Then she's laughing one more time
With what little happiness 
A teardrop buys
She's a sad and lonely
She's just a sad and lonely 
Texas dance hall girl
