Wah ah ah aaahhhh
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 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 old compadres
My was I glad
To see them Carson Robison 2
And the Mississippi blue yodeler Jimmie
Rodgers 3
I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
Oh what a beautiful sight
He introduced me to Wiley
And he showed me the Hall of Fame with
All the gold guitars and fiddles a-hanging
On the walls Then he said
Tex step over this way
There are old your friends
You'll want to see
They're waiting for you
And there they were
Standing side by side and
Smiling at me
Hank Williams or a far and Johnny Horton
There more cars till be
I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven
Oh what a star-studded night
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
Ernest Tubb Gene Autry
Roy Acuff Eddy Arnold Tennessee
Ernie Eddie Dean Andy Griffith
Roy Rogers Tex Ritter
Whaaaa
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
