Dead Man's Waltz

Dead Man’s Waltz
Copyright 2019 Mike Norris Music


The autumn leaves had started to change color
On the day that we exchanged our wedding vows
In a pauper’s chapel by the harbor
Down the street in our hometown…

And i swore that day my heart would be
Onto your heart forever bound
Though someday soon the undertaker comes for me
To lay my body down in the cold hard ground.

The Sheriff came with your restraining order…
He said it might be best if i left town
But there ain’t no Judge here in Hyde County
Who can hold my spirit now…

And though you can’t sleep,
Though you moan and weep…
You know I’ll still be coming’ round
To dance with my darlin’ in the pale moonlight,
Just like the night you shot your lover down.

And though you can’t sleep,
Though you moan and weep…
You know I’ll still be coming’ round
To dance with my darlin’ in the pale moonlight,
Just like the night you shot your lover down.
Just like the night you shot your lover down.
