Leonard Cohen - Tennessee Waltz (Live) lyrics

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.
