The Tennessee Waltz Song Lyrics

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

I introduced him/her to my loved one and while they were dancin'

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 darlin' the night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

(Instrumental Break)

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

I introduced him/her to my loved one and while they were dancin'

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 darlin' the night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

*** The word "dancin'" in the first verse is

sometimes replaced with the word "waltzing".

*****

As recorded by Emmylou Harris, with

extra verses written by Leonard Cohen:

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

Now 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 Waltz

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 comin', 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
