@inlove333333 They got a vintage victrola, 1951, full of my favorite records that I grew up on. They got ole hank and lefty and there's B-24. Set em up joe and play walkin the floor, set em up joe and play walkin the floor. I'm gonna spend the night like every night before. Playin ET and i'll play em some more. I gotta have a shot of some ole troubadores. Yeah set em up joe and play walkin the floor, set em up joe and play walkin the floor. All my neon neighbors they like what I play
@inlove333333 (continued) cus they've heard it every night since u walked away. Every day they'll be playin some B-24 cus everynight I run a needle through walkin the floor, every night I run a needle through walkin the floor. I'm gonna spend the night like every night before playin ET i'm gonna play em some more. I gotta have a shot of them ole troubadores..set em up joe and play walkin the floor.
@inlove333333 (last line) Set em up joe and play walkin the floor. I said set em up and play walkin the floor, set em up joe and play walkin the floor.
okay so I just posted the lyrics to you...typed them out as the song played so they are the correct lyrics. Glad ya like the song. :-) thanks for listening.
b-24 is the location on the juke box walkin the floor definately a reference to Ernest Tubb but also the name of the son a reference to Ernest Tubb's song set up two glasses Joe
First off, they wouldn't have had a Victorola in a bar. That was from another era. They would have had a jukebox where the selections were listed by a letter and number. B-24 was probably the flip side of a Ernest Tubb record with the main song listed as A-24. This song is great for doing the Texas Two-Step (left foot, riight foot, slide, slide). The songs he played may have been from the Fifties, but "Walking the Floor Over You" came out in 1941
Vern, was the....."HEY VERN", that Ernest was referring to......you all do remember Ernest...don't ya'?...They were very good friends. (Jim Varney). R I P Jim & Vern
Hank could be either Hank Williams or Hank Snow (I would tend to think Williams, but Snow had a lot of hits as well), Lefty would be Lefty Frizzel
Yes, Playing ET (Ernest Tubb) and the Troubadours (his band - he was called "The Texas Troubadour) playing "Walkin' the Floor (Over You)"
The Troubadour Essential Album used in the video includes works of the likes of Johnny Cash, Jim Croce, Eric Clapton, Townes VanZandt, and Van Morrison, but nothing by ET...
Although there are no lyrics posted on this particular post, I have to say this, I am 100%sure it goes "I'm gonna spend the night like every night before, playin' E.T., I'm gonna play him some more". Every lyrics I've seen for this say "play a new tune" instead of E.T. The "E.T." has to stand for Ernest Tubb, the singer of "Walkin' the Floor Over You", of which this song is about ("B-24"). The point of the song is he drinks and plays the song over and over, right?
if you listen closely to the lyrics..the words are set up like a bar...his girlfriend left..or whomever....he'll have a shot (like alcohol) but of the troubadours...so...although it appears to be a drinking every night kind of song, when he says "set em up joe" he's saying to set up the records...old hank, lefty, b-24, ET (ernest tubb) and the troubadours. Do you get what I'm saying or amI not making any sense? LOL...basically, as a bartender would"set em up"alcohol..he's saying set em up(songs)
What I always got out of it was a combination of both the music and the drinking. He is at the bar every night driking and playing "Walkin' The Floor Over You" over and over. The "Set 'em up Joe" part is about the bartender setting up the drinks. He mentions the other singers setting up what is on the jukebox but "B-24" is the only one he actually plays.
Thank you, oh thank you. I realize this is a country standard and any aspiring or recreational country singer will do Set Em Up Joe, but there's a few too many on YT. I clicked four Set Em Up Joes before I found Vern. Thanks you.
Good song. B-24 is the slot number of the record "Walkin' the Floor". "They got old Hank and Lefty and there's B-24." ET is the "Texas Troubadour", but Vern is talking about all the old guys when he says "them old troubadours".
Thanks for posting this song. This is one of the finest beer joint songs out, along with Rednecks, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer.
oh...and....ET is Ernest Tubb...and I couldn't find a pic of anything to do with troubadors except that album pic (which said troubador...so I used it lol)
I'm not a he...and I only threw together a bunch of pix to the song becus the original song wasn't on here for folks to LEARN the song from the best version (the original) but ty for ur opinions
You're right. Great song, and a nice effort, but the guy who put this together may be a bit clueless about what this song means. He does not seem to know what ET and the (Texas) Troubadors--and "Walkin' the Floor"-- are!
