Annotationen
Erster wichtiger C&W-Crossover-Hit. Der Erfolg von Patti Page machte Acuff-Rose, die Copyright-Inhaber reich.
Eine Art Antwortsong auf Kentucky Waltz von Bill Monroe.
Frühes Beispiel von double tracking (Stimme von Page).
Es wird oft gesagt, dass «Tennessee Waltz» von Pee Wee Kings Originalversion inspiriert war, doch es gab mehrere Versionen vor derjenigen von Page und tatsächlich war es die von Erskine Hawkins, einem R&B-/Swing-Bandleader, die als Vorbild diente. Jerry Wexler machte Pages Manager Jack Rael mit dem Song bekannt.

I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend I happened to see I introduced her to my loved one And while they were dancing 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 darling the night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee Waltz I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend I happened to see I introduced her to my loved one And while they were dancing 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 darling the night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
