Tennessee Waltz — текст песни (Emmylou Harris)

(Redd Stewart/Pee Wee King)

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
