Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

The Last Cheater's Waltz

She's going to pieces when he walked in the door

She just has to see him, she can't wait no more

Tonight she'll be with him no matter the cost

As the band plays the Last Cheater's Waltz

And uh, huh, huh, don't they play lonely

Uh, huh, huh, don't they play sad

And uh, huh, huh, drink water only

See how he holds her, as the band plays the Last Cheater's Waltz

He tells her, he loves her as the music plays on

He tells her, he needs her but someone's at home

The ball game's all over and she knows she's lost

As the band plays the Last Cheater's Waltz

And uh, huh, huh, don't they play lonely

Uh, huh, huh, don't they play sad

And uh, huh, huh, three quarter only

See how he holds her, as the band plays the Last Cheater's Waltz

And uh huh huh don't they play lonely

Uh, huh, huh, don't they play sad

And uh, huh, huh, three quarter only

See how he holds her, as the band plays the Last Cheater's Waltz
