I got a gal that's mighty peculiar
She's got a funny state of mind
Though she likes all kinds of singers
She'll only dance to just one kind
She likes to hear hank moan the blues
Or bob wills' faded love
But my baby don't dance to nothin' but
Ernest tubb

I wonder why in tarnation
She's got such a strange fixation
Why she won't ever dance with me
Unless it's a song by old e.t.
I guess waltzin' across texas
Must be in her blood
Cause my baby don't dance to nothin' but
Ernest tubb

Well i like to take her dancinn'
But i just don't know what for
Cause all she ever dances to
Is the texas troubadours
My friends don't understand it
How i ever fell in love
With a gal that don't dance nothin' but
Ernest tubb

I wonder why in tarnation
She's got such a strange fixation
Why she won't ever dance with me
Unless it's a song by old e.t.
I guess waltzin' across texas
Must be in her blood
Cause my baby don't dance to nothin' but
Ernest tubb
