Leonard Cohen - Tennessee Waltz [Live] Lyrics

Artist: Leonard Cohen

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart

I was dancing with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced him to my loved one and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

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 playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz, alright

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 playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

She comes dancing through 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's left in my heart

Now 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 playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz, beautiful Tennessee Waltz
