Ernest Tubb! Memories of the past.
Country Music Lover
Little Jimmy Dickens
Oh, I really thought that I had learned to love her
I even took her home to meet my mother
That’s why it breaks my heart to discover
That she ain’t a country music lover.
The trouble all started with them phonograph records I bought her
Like she thought Kitty Wells was a place a cat goes to get water
Why she even thought that Ferlin Husky was some kind of Eskimo dog
She thought The Texas Troubadours were President Johnson’s staff
She even thought that Ernest Tubb was a sincere place to take a bath
“Ernest Tubb! Memories of the past.”
Now showing how old I am, Ernest Tubb, the Big ET. about this time on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon 60 or so years ago, TV would be Porter Waggoner (with Dolly Parton) Tubb might be a guest with a long list of others. Followed by wrestling in the Sportatoriom in Fort Worth. Here I am on FR with any music I want, any movie, drama, etc. at my fingertips. The world has changed for some ways better. Now if Putin and Biden just don’t blow it all up.
I’ve got an old Rowe jukebox, full of them. One of my favorites on the box.
