Johnny Cash Follow

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

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
