The Tennessee Waltz:Connie Francis. Hit the charts in 1959.(***I believe Francis sang only Verses #1 & #2 plus Chorus:#1, then repeated them. I added the other verse(#3) and Chorus(#2.) in case anyone was interested. The chords are my version.) #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. #2. Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz 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 comin', it's all over but the cryin', Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz. #3. He 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 he left in my heart. Chorus:#1. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
