Oh  my, but you have a pretty face,
 you favor  I girl that I knew
 I imagine  that she's back 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,
 in same  way that I'm leaving you
 Because love  is mainly just memories,  you see,
 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 will be like I found you love,
 descending  Victorian stairs
 And I'm feeling  like one of your old photographs,  girl,
 where I m trapped  while I m putting on airs;
 so I ll get even  by saying who cares?
 At the Brand  New Tennessee  Waltz,
 you're literally waltzing on air
 At the Brand  New Tennessee  Waltz,
 there's just no telling who  will be there
 So have  all of your passionate violins,
 play a tune  for a Tennessee kid
 Who's feeling  like leaving another  town,
 but with no  place to go if he did;
 cause they'll catch  you wherever you're hid
 At the Brand  New Tennessee  Waltz,
 you're literally waltzing on air
 At the Brand  New Tennessee  Waltz,
 there's just no telling who  will be there
