Oh, my, but you have a pretty face |
|
You favour a girl that I knew |
|
I imagine that she's still in Tennessee |
|
And, by God, I should be there, too |
|
I've a sadness too sad to be true |
|
Well I left Tennessee in a hurry, dear |
|
The same way that I'm leaving you |
|
But love is mainly just memories |
|
And everyone's got him a few |
|
So when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you |
|
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz |
|
You're literally waltzing on air |
|
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz |
|
There's no telling who will be there |
|
When I leave it'll be like I found you, love |
|
Descending Victorian stairs |
|
Feeling like one of your photographs |
|
Trapped while I'm putting on airs |
|
And getting even by saying."Who cares" |
|
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz |
|
You're literally waltzing on air |
|
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz |
|
There's no telling who will be there |
|
So, let all of your passionate violins |
|
Play a tune for a Tennessee kid |
|
Who's feeling like leaving another town |
|
With no place to go if he did |
|
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid |
|
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz |
|
You're literally waltzing on air |
|
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz |
|
There's no telling who will be there |
