Star Spangled Waltz Lyrics - Hank Snow

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
