Hillbilly Waltz [alternative take]
Jim Reeves · Welcome to My World [1996]
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...
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.
