Ernest Tubb: Ernest Tubb

Quotes 

• Ernest Tubb : We could use her in the show. How 'bout it?

  Helen : Oh, I've always dreamed of being in something like that.

  Francis D. Cartwright : Well, it don't seem quite right for a young girl like that to be travelin' around the country seven men - even if one of them is her own father.

  Esmeralda 'Ezzy' Perkins : Now, don't let that worry ya. I'll go along and keep the wolves away.

  Francis D. Cartwright : Well, I don't doubt that.

• Ernest Tubb : Howdy friends and neighbors. I'd like to sing a song for you, one of my favorites, entitled, "You nearly lose your mind."

• Ernest Tubb : [singing]  Now darling, you know I love you well, Love you more than I can ever tell, I thought that you wanted me and always would be mine, But you went and left me here with troubles on my mind, I'm walking the floor over you, I can't sleep a wink that is true...
