Jim Reeves - Hillbilly Waltz Lyrics

The music was lovely, the lights, they were low
The couples were happy as 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
