The Tennessee Waltz - Connie Francis.
Hit the charts in 1959.(***I believe Francis sang only
Verses #1 & #2 plus CHORUS:#1, and repeated them.
I added the other verse(#3) and chorus(#2.) in case anyone
was interested. The chords are my version.)
#1.
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:#1.
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.
#2.
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:#2.
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.
#3.
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:#1.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
