Brand New Tennessee Waltz Songtext
von Ronnie Hawkins

Oh my, but you have a pretty face
You favour a girl that i knew
I imagine that she′s still in Tennessee
I know, i should be there too
I've a sadness too sad to be true

I left Tennessee in a hurry, dear
The same way that i′m leaving you
Because love is mainly just memories
And everyone's got them a few
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

Instrumentals


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"?

At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
No telling who will be there

Get all of your passionate violins
Play a tune for a Arkansas kid
Who′s feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if he did
They'll catch me wherever i'm hid

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

Yes, at the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
No telling who will be there
(No telling who will be there)
