Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette - I Dreamed of a Hillbilly Heaven lyrics

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 Gentleman Jim Reeves
Singin' with Heaven's choir
Roger Miller, he just got here
He's making everybody laugh
Of 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, Webb 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 getting 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 was there in 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
Of course, they talked about Minnie Pearl
The Judds
Tanya Tucker, Reba McIntyre, Hank Jr
Oh, of course, Buck Owens, Roy Rogers
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!
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!
