-------------------------
I was waltzing with my darlin' to the Tennesse waltz
when an old friend I happened to see.
I introduced him to my loved one,
and while they were waltzing
my friend stole my sweet-heart 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.

The Beautiful Tenessee Waltz.

Does this song bring tears to anyone else's eyes?

[STupIDsuPerME]

It's funny how people's memories gets triggered so easily by songs.

[misyespitelk]

I miss my father when I hear this song.

[BrownSkinn1]

I've never heard this version before. It's beautiful. I'm used to the Sam Cooke version.

[mollymagoo1000]

My Mom's favorite song.

@dennisfrenchman That's cool! That's why I looked it up (for my father-in-law). First time I heard it but it sound really sad, in a good way.

[firecat1415]

This was one of my father's favorite songs and every time I hear it, I see him shadow waltzing around the parlor. It breaks my heart into a million, million pieces because he is gone and I can't reach him...

[dennisfrenchman]

In the fall of 1951 I was 4 going on 5. We moved into an old farm house in Iowa when my grandmother died and my Dad went to Germany with the army. The previous renter had left an old wind up record player on the porch and there was a record in it. I turned the crank and it played the Tennessee Waltz. I played it over and over and it was my favorite song. I thought it was wonderfully sad, which probably fit my mood, even though I didn't really understand the song.
