Текст песни: (I Dreamed Of A) Hill-Billy Heaven + перевод

Spoken:

Last night I dreamed I went to hillbilly heaven. And you know who greeted me at

the gate? The ole

Cowboy-philosopher himself, Will Rogers. He said to me, he said «Tex,

the Big Boss of the riders

Up here has asked me to kinda show you around. Now, over yonder are a couple of

your ole compadres.»

My, was I glad to see them, Carson Robison and the Mississippi blue yodeler

Jimmie Rodgers

I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven

Spoken:

He introduced me to Wiley Post, and he showed me the Hall of Fame with all the

gold guitars and fiddles

Hanging on the walls. Then he said, «Tex, step over this way, there are two

more of your friends I know

You’ll want to see, they’re waitin' for you.» There they were standin' side by

side and smilin' at me--

Hank Williams and Johnny Horton

I met all the stars in hillbilly heaven

Spoken:

Then I asked him who else do you expect in the next, uh, say a hundred years?

He handed me a large book

Covered with star dust. Will called it the Big Tally Book. In it were many

names and each name was branded

In pure gold. I began to read some of them as I turned the pages: Red Foley,

Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry

Roy Acuff, Eddy Arnold, Tennessee Ernie, Jimmy Dean, Andy Griffith, Roy Rogers,

Tex Ritter (Whaaaatttt???)

Tex Ritter? Oh, well, that’s when I woke up, and I’m sorry I did, because

I dreamed I was there in hillbilly heaven
