When we dance together my world’s in disguise it’s a fairyland tale that come
true
And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you
Waltz across Texas with you in my arms waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending I’m lost in your charms
And I could waltz across Texas with you
My heartaches and troubles are just up and gone the moment that you come in view
And with your hand in mine dear I could dance on and on
And I could waltz across Texas with you
Waltz across Texas…
The steel guitar player is Buddy Emmons , the greatest steel player ever, he was one of the only at the time . He played on almost every country song recorded in Nashville . I had the opportunity to play with him and Willie Nelson on a reunion they did in 1976 in Beaumont Texas .
Fretless Ampeg Bass? I have been been playing since 1965 never seen one of those before ....I have owned a Framus Star, a Vox Phantom and a Hagstrom., Now since new a 1978 Fender Precision Bass. I would love to get my hands that Ampeg
Looks like a classic and rare like hens teeth I bet
Watched ET sing this in Odessa, Texas sitting next to his son Justin who gave me the seat. Justin was impressed because I chose to watch his father rather than going to the strip joints with my friends. A day I will never forget! Ernest Tubb is the best of country

About 15 or so years ago, I stopped in Ft. Worth to get something to eat. I asked a local where I could find some good eats and he told me where to find it. As I walked inside, it was as if I had stepped back in time. The waitresses wore those uniforms with aprons, beehive hairdo's and they called everyone "honey" or "sugar". What caught my ears though was the sound of ET singing "Waltz across Texas". They still had those coin boxes at the booths where you could put your change in and hear some of the best music ever. I miss those days.
I'll be 65 in a few days. But when I hear this song, I'm 8 years old, standing on daddys feet as we glide around the kitchen with him singing to me. That's what memorys are made of. That's the good stuff.
