tex ritter – i dreamed of a hill-billy heaven lyrics

wah, ah, ah, aaahhhh.)

[sung:]
i dreamed i was there in hillbilly heaven.
((oh, what a beautiful sight.))

[spoken:]
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 1 . he said to me, he
said, “tex, the big boss of the riders up here has
asked me to kinda show you
around. right over yonder are a couple of your ol’
compadres.” my, was i glad
to see ’em, carson robison 2 and the mississippi blue
yodeler, jimmie
rodgers 3 .

[sung:]
i dreamed i was there in hillbilly heaven.
((oh, what a beautiful sight.))

[spoken:]
he introduced me to wiley post 4 , and he showed me the
hall of fame 5 with
all the gold guitars and fiddles a-hanging on the
walls. then he said, “tex,
step over this way, there are two more o’ your friends
i know you’ll want to
see, they’re waitin’ for you.” and there they were,
standin’ side by side and
smilin’ at me – hank williams 6 and johnny horton 7 .

[sung:]
i met all the stars in hillbilly heaven.
((oh, what a star-studded night.))

[spoken:]
then i asked him who else he expected within 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 8 ,
ernest tubb 9 , gene autry 10 , roy acuff 11 , eddy
arnold 12 , tennessee
ernie 13 , eddie dean 14 , andy griffith 15 , roy
rogers 16 , tex ritter…
(whaaaa??)

tex ritter? oh, well, that’s when i woke up, and i’m
sorry i did, because,

[sung:]
i dreamed i was there in hillbilly heaven.
((oh, what a beautiful sight.))
