Star Spangled Waltz Lyrics

Hank Snow Star Spangled Waltz

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
