Two Glasses, Joe
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 (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 - Two Glasses, Joe Lyrics
Two Glasses, Joe
Set up two glasses, Joe
And turn the jukebox low
And let me sit and reminisce
While I pretend that she
Is sitting here with me
The way she did not long ago
We used to paint the town red
and dance until two
Well, I don't paint it red no more
But I'm painting it blue
He stole her love I know
But he can't stop me, Joe
From having just a dream or two
Set up two glasses, Joe
Maybe you didn't know
But there's a memory in the room
A memory that walks
A memory that talks
And haunts me everywhere I go
I'm just a fool who loves her
And will till I die
From the very first hello
To the last goodbye
Well this is it you know
So fill the glasses Joe
And leave me here alone to cry
