about

(Hank Williams Rightsong Music Inc, BMI/Acuff-Rose Music Inc, BMI)
I first heard singer Frannie Leopold sing this beautiful song in California and fell in love with it. It only had 1 verse so I wrote a second one.—AG

lyrics

I was sad and blue, downhearted too
It seemed like the whole world was lost
When I took a chance and we happened to dance
To the tune of the Alabama Waltz.

CHO: Waltz, waltz, the Alabama Waltz
There all my fears & troubles were lost
There in your arms with all of your charms
We danced to the Alabama Waltz.

Oh the light in your eyes, warmed this cold heart of mine
And opened the door to my soul
All the heartaches and lies faded into the night
As we danced to the Alabama Waltz.
