Lyrics of Star spangled waltz

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
