SOUTH CAROLINA WALTZ VERSEIt was early spring Cherry blossoms were bloomin’ And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky
Sally Ann took the hand
Of Sir William Lewis And fell in love as they danced to The South Carolina Waltz
VERSE He was a sailor Who came from South Hampton From a ship building family, though we never pried Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz
CHORUS We always knew
That it was forever Like the dawn of the rest of their lives From that night on, they were always together Side By Side
VERSE It was late in the fall When winter came callin’ And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride But the autumn winds can be unforgiving And from out of nowhere their boat capsized And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis And we found them together on the shore where they died
Short Instrumental break
Now it’s early spring Cherry blossoms are bloomin’ And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

TOO MANY HONKY TONKS VERSE I know she didn’t mean to hurt me She tried so hard to make it right I guess I lost out to the whisky But I wonder where my baby is tonight
CHORUS ‘Cause when her tears start fallin’ Her goodtime friends come callin’ And they won’t keep her feet
On solid ground From lonely street to misery Uptown on down There’re just too many honky tonks around

VERSE The neon lights are shinin’ Right thru the warm glow of this wine And my ole heart is pinin’ And I wonder where she’ll be
At closing time.
