joining multiple files into one while putting the filename in the file

Hello, I know how to join multiple files using the cat function. I want to do something a little more advanced. Basically I want to put the filename in the first column...

One thing to note is that the file is tab delimited.

e.g.

Code:

file1.txt

joe 1 4 5 6 7 3
manny 2 3 4 5 6 7

Code:

file2.txt

bob 1 5 6 7 4 3
larry 2 4 3 2 1 2

so i want to join both files so it looks like this

Code:

file1 joe 1 4 5 6 7 3
file 1 manny 2 3 4 5 6 7
file 2 bob 1 5 6 7 4 3
file 2 larry 2 4 3 2 1 2

thanks
