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.
