(I Dreamed Of A) Hill-Billy Heaven |
| Wah, wah, wah, waaahhhh |
| I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven |
| Oh what a beautiful sight |
| Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven. |
| And you know who greeted |
| me at the gate? |
| The ole cowboy-philosopher himself, Will Rogers. |
| He said |
| to me, he said «Tex, the Big Boss of the riders up here has asked me to |
| kinda show you around. |
| Now, over yonder are a couple of your ole |
| compadres |
| ." My, was I glad to see them, Carson Robison and the |
| Mississippi blue yodeler Jimmie Rodgers. |
| I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven |
| Oh what a beautiful sight |
| He introduced me to Wiley Post, and he showed me the Hall of Fame with |
| all the gold guitars and fiddles hanging on the walls. |
| Then he said, |
| «Tex, step over this way, there are two more of your friends I know |
| you’ll want to see, they’re waitin' for you.» |
| There they were standin' |
| side by side and smilin' at me--Hank Williams and Johnny Horton. |
| I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven |
| Oh what a star-studded night |
| Then I asked him who else do you expect in the next, uh, say a hundred |
| years? |
| He handed me a large book covered with star dust. |
| Will called it |
| the Big Tally Book. |
| In it were many names and each name was branded in |
| pure gold. |
| I began to read some of them as I turned the pages: Red Foley, |
| Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, Roy Acuff, Eddy Arnold, Tennessee Ernie, Jimmy |
| Dean, Andy Griffith, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter |
| Whaaaatttt??? |
| Tex Ritter? |
| Oh, well, that’s when I woke up, and I’m sorry I did, because |
| I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven |
| Oh what a beautiful sight |
