Hank Snow Star Spangled Waltz Lyrics

Star Spangled Waltz Lyrics

The band it was playing the Star Spangled Waltz

The lights in the ballroom were low

Oh twas sweet to my ears I fought back my tears

For that waltz broke my heart long ago



My sweetheart grew jealous as I danced with a friend

And said that my love had grown false

Then she told me goodbye neath that old southern sky

As we danced to the Star Spangled Waltz

[ fiddle - steel ]

Then a face caught my eye as the dancers passed by

It was my sweetheart who left me to pine

As she whispered my name I cuold see oh so plain

That her heart it was broken like mine



Love had one it's last fight as I kissed her that night

As I did in the days long ago

We had found new romance though we cried as we danced

To the beautiful Star Spangled Waltz
