Oh, my, but you have a pretty face, You favor a girl that I knew, I imagine that she´s still in Tennessee, And, by God, I schould be there, too I´ve a sadness too sad to be true. But I left Tennessee in a hurry, Dear, The same way that I´m leaving you, ´Cause love is mainly just memories And everyone´s got him a few, So when I´m gone I´ll be glad to love you.
(CHORUS) At the brand new Tennessee Waltz you´re lit ´rally waltzing on air; At the brand new Tennessee Waltz there ain´t no telling who will be there.
When I leave it´ll be like I found you, Love, Descending Victorian stairs, I´m feeling like one of your photographs Trapped while I´m putting on airs, And getting even by asking, "Who cares". So, have 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.
