Dolly Parton - I Dreamed of a Hillbilly Heaven songtekst

Je score:

(Dolly Parton - Eddie Dean - Hal Southern)



I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven

Oh, what a beautiful sight

And I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven

Oh, what a star spangled night.



Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven

And just as I arrived the old curtain lifted

And there on stage stood who else but Roy Acuff and Tex Ritter

They said well how you doing come on in here

I know there's some folks you wanna see

Over there's our newest member

Your old friend Conway Twitty, say Hello Darlin'

And there's gentlemen Jim Reeves singin' with heaven's choir

Roger Miller he just got here he's making everybody laugh

Course you know Roy Orbison can sing just as high as anybody here

And Ernest Tubb can sing as low

And Patsy Cline, well, bet she's the best singin' angel here

And Dottie West is probably the prettiest

There's the old pea-picker Ernie Ford

Jimmy Rodgers, George Morgan, Hank Williams

And the wandering boy Web Pierce

The old honky tonker himself Lefty Frizzell

My goodness what a group

Would you just listen to Mother Mabel

Over there pickin' the Wildwood Flower with the angel band

You know I personally think she's just about God's favorite

And Marty Robbins, well, he's still gettin' more encores

Than anybody else up here just like he used to down on earth 

Yeah, well, there's Elvis they still call him the King

But we know they're not talking about the real king up here.



I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven

Oh, what a star studded night.



Then I ask Roy and Tex, I said well, who do you think will be showin' up

Say within the next 40, 50, 60 years

They handed me a big tallybook and in it I saw names like Johnny Cash

George Jones, Merle Haggard, Don Gibson, Mel Tillis, Farren Young, Kitty Wells

Some of the newer ones like Vince Gill and Garth Brooks 

Course they talked about Minnie Pearl the Judds, Tanya Tucker

Reba McEntire, Hank Jr. oh, of course Buck Owens, Roy Rodgers, Gene Autry

Randy Travis and Willie Nelson There's old Chet

I said, well, where's Porter Wagoner's name, oh, there it is

And then there was Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton

Oh, that's when I woke up.



I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven, oh, what a beautiful sight

And I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven, oh, what a star spangled night...
