Song information

Artist: Leonard Cohen
Album: Dear Heather

Lyrics

Written by redd stewart and pee wee king
Additional verse: leonard cohen

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 waltzing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember the night and the tennessee waltz
Now 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
