| 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 |
