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
