Tennessee Waltz

(álbum: Cimarron - 1981)

I was dancing with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see.
I introduced him to my darling and while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz
Could have broken my heart so complete
Well I couldn't blame my darling, and who could help falling
In love with my darling 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 coming, it's all over but the crying
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz

She goes dancing 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 darling the night they were playing
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
