Jim Reeves

James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter. With records charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music). Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death. Reeves died at age 40 in the crash of a private airplane. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame. more »

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
