Ain't That Good News
Well I was dancing with my baby
 To that Tennessee Waltz
 When an old friend I happened I happened to see
 Oh yeah
 I introduced him to my baby
 and while they were dancing 
 That friend stole my sweetheart away from me
 Oh yes he did


 but I remember the night
 and that beautiful Tennessee Waltz
 Only you know how much I have lost 
 oh yeah
 You know that I lost my lost my baby
 That night they kept on playing 
 That beautiful Tennessee Waltz


 Oh yeah.


 Well I was dancing with my baby
 To that Tenne- Tennessee Waltz
 When an old friend I happened I happened to see
 Oh yeah
 I introduced him to my baby
 and while they were dancing 
 that dirty dog stole my baby away from me
 Oh yes he did


 but I remember the night
 and that beautiful Tennessee Waltz
 Only you know just how much how much I have lost 
 oh yeah
 You know that I lost my lost my baby
 That night they kept on playing 
 That beautiful 
 that wonderful
 That marvelous
 That glorious
 That beautiful
 Tennessee Waltz
