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 |
|
|
|
|

|
(New second verse written by Leonard Cohen) |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz |
