1
Oh, my, but you have a pretty face,
2
You favor a girl that I knew,
3
I imagine that she´s still in Tennessee,
4
And, by God, I should be there, too
5
I´ve a sadness too sad to be true.
6
But I left Tennessee in a hurry, Dear,
7
The same way that I´m leaving you,
8
´Cause love is mainly just memories
9
And everyone´s got him a few,
10
So when I´m gone I´ll be glad to love you.
11
[Chorus]
12
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz you´re lit ´rally waltzing on air;
13
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz there ain´t no telling who will be there.
14
When I leave it´ll be like I found you, Love,
15
Descending Victorian stairs,
16
I´m feeling like one of your photographs
17
I´m trapped while I´m putting on airs,
18
And getting even by asking, "Who cares".
19
So, have all of your passionate violins
20
Play a tune for a Tennessee kid,
21
Who´s feeling like leaving another town
22
With no place to go if he did,
23
´Cause they´ll catch you wherever you hid.
