I found this song at uwp.edu ../lyrics/f/folk/ posted by ?
In his lyric compilation Dean Engelhardt writes that
Leonard Cohen performed it at some concerts (does anybody know where and
when?).
I will put this song to nevada ../c/leonard_cohen
But before this song goes to nevada can somebody please add the songwriter,
a record where it s played and perhaps some melody.
That would be very great. Thank You very much, to all of You.
TENNESSEE WALTZ
By ?
[Intro]
||GDA|||
[Verse 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
(solo, same as a verse)
[Chorus 1]
or CHORUS 1 alone again
[Verse 2]
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltze
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 commin , it s all over but the cryin
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
(solo, same as a verse)
[Chorus 2]
New second verse written by Cohen
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 ... (CHORUS 1)
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
