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.In 1948, he was the first singer to record a hit version of Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson's "Blue Christmas", a song more commonly associated with Elvis Presley and his late-1950s version. Another well-known Tubb hit was "Waltz Across Texas" (1965) (written by his nephew Quanah Talmadge Tubb, known professionally as Billy Talmadge), which became one of his most requested songs and is often used in dance halls throughout Texas during waltz lessons. Tubb recorded duets with the then up-and-coming Loretta Lynn in the early 1960s, including their hit "Sweet Thang". Tubb is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Ernest Tubb - Half a mind Lyrics
I don't love you like I used to do
But I'm afraid to tell you so
I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go
Words to tell you just don't come to me
Guess my courage is too slow
I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go
Now time may prove that you're not to blame
But now's the time I need to know
I've got half a mind to leave you
But only half the heart to go
