    spoken
    last night i dreamed i went to hillbilly heaven and you know who greeted me at the gate the ole
    cowboyphilosopher himself will rogers he said to me he said tex the big boss of the riders
    up here has asked me to kinda show you around now over yonder are a couple of your ole compadres
    my was i glad to see them carson robison and the mississippi blue yodeler jimmie rodgers

    i dreamed i was there in hillbilly heaven
    oh what a beautiful sight

    spoken
    he duced me to wiley post and he showed me the hall of fame with all the gold s and fiddles
    hanging on the walls then he said tex step over this way there are two more of your friends i know
    you’ll want to see they’re waitin’ for you there they were standin’ side by side and smilin’ at me
    hank williams and johnny horton

    i met all the stars in hillbilly heaven
    oh what a starstudded night

    spoken
    then i asked him who else do you expect in 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

    i dreamed i was there in hillbilly heaven
