Eva Marie Cassidy (February 2, 1963 â€“ November 2, 1996) was an American vocalist described by the British newspaper The Guardian as "one of the greatest voices of her generation". Although possessing a soulful voice, an extraordinary range, and a diverse repertoire of jazz, blues, folk, gospel and pop, she still remained virtually unknown outside of her native Washington, DC, when she died of melanoma in 1996. However, her posthumously released recordings have since sold in excess of four million copies, and in early 2001 the compilation album Songbird reached #1 on the UK album charts.

Tennessee Waltz Lyrics

Eva Cassidy

I was dancing with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet.
I introduced her to my darling, and while they were dancing,
My friend stoled my sweetheart from me.
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz,
I'm knowing now just what I have lost.
Yes, I've lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz,
I'm knowing now just what I have lost.
Yes, I've lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Oh, the beautiful Tennessee Waltz.
