The Band It Was Playing The Star Spangled Waltz,

The Lights In The Ball-room 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.



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.
