Oh my but you have a pretty face
You favour a girl that I knew
I imagine that she's still in Tennessee
And by God I should be there too
I've a sadness too sad to be true
But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear
The same way that Im leaving you
Because love is mainly just memories
And everyone's got him a few
So when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There's 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 song 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
