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 could see, oh so plain
That her heart, it was broken like mine
Love had won its 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
