I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven

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 want to 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 Oooh 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
