She goes Ddancin' with the darkness to the D7Tennessee GWaltz and I Dfeel like I'm Bmfalling aEpart A and it's Dstronger than drink and it's D7deeper than Gsorrow this Ddarkness she Gleft Din Amy Dheart
I remember the night ... (CHORUS 1) That beautiful Tennessee Waltz i thank for the additional information i got from rec.music.folk: From: jlupton@sas.upenn.edu (John Lupton) Written and originally performed by Pee Wee King (and His Golden West Cowboys) back in the 40s. Patti Page had a monster pop hit with it in the 50s, it's been done by dozens of people since in forms from bluegrass to country to pop to folk to...well, whatever. I'll even admit to having a version by Anne Murray that's done very nicely. >A good time to mention Jesse Winchester's "Brand New Tennessee Waltz." Just >an aside. The Nashville Bluegrass Band does a sterling version of this on one of their albums...either "Nashville Bluegrass Band" or "Idle Time", I forget which. ******** From: jondw@ix.netcom.com (Jon Weisberger) Actually, the songwriting credit is to Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart, who was the vocalist in his band, according to Bill C. Malone's _Country Music U.S.A._ My favorite recording, FWIW, is that made by one of our century's great folk artists, Earl Taylor, on his "Body And Soul" album on Vetco. ****** From: spinoza@next06wor.wam.umd.edu (Yon Bonnie Laird of Cairn Robbing) My favorite version would be the live recording of Patsy Cline. Sounds like it was done at the Opry or some such live show. I heartily recommend the box set, BTW. jeff weiss, college park (md)
