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.
Chorus
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 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.
Chorus
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.
He 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 he left in my heart.
Chorus
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
