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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
