Tennessee Waltz Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

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
