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.
