TENNESSEE WALTZ

I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to see.

I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin'

my friend stole my sweetheart from me.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz

cause I know just how much I have lost

Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'

That beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltze

Could have broken my heart so complete

Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin'

In love with my darlin' so sweet

Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz  

Wish I'd known just how much it would cost              

But I didn't see it commin', it's all over but the cryin'  

Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz

She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz

and I feel like I'm falling apart

and it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow

this darkness she left in my heart

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz

cause I know just how much I have lost

Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'

That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
