Hillbilly Waltz

(Jim Reeves)

The music was lovely
The lights they were low
The couples were happy's
They swayed to and fro.

But my heart was heavy
With love I had lost
As we danced
To the hillbilly waltz.

The hillbilly waltz
Lovely hillbilly waltz
Tells a story
Of love that was false.

I'll always remember
As long as I live
The beautiful hillbilly waltz.

The girl in my arms
Seemed so happy and gay
But she knew I was dreaming
Of my yesterday.

Hoping that somewhere
Our pathway would cross
As we danced to
The hillbilly waltz.

The hillbilly waltz
Lovely hillbilly waltz
Tells a story
Of love that was false.

I'll always remember
As long as I live
The beautiful hillbilly waltz...
