Tennessee Waltz，中文译作《田纳西华尔兹》或是《田纳西圆舞曲》，于1948年由Redd Stewart和Pee Wee King带到世上，之后被许多歌手演唱过，成为传世金曲，并被定为田纳西州歌，有多个版本。我们现在听到的是上世纪五十年代美国最著名的女歌手之一Patti Page所唱。
《田纳西华尔兹》讲述了一场伴随着优美的田纳西华尔兹舞曲发生的爱情变故，吟唱着歌者的幽怨与感伤。没有考证过是否最初这首歌就在内容和乐曲形式上寻求绝妙的统一――以华尔兹的旋律道出一段有关华尔兹的故事，或许就是了，但之后也有不同的声音放弃了这种统一，尝试用迥异的风格来讲述这段陈情往事的，却也都各显风情。
Patti Page应该不是第一个唱Tennessee Waltz的歌手，但Tennessee Waltz是Patti Page一生中最成功的作品，在1950年，Patti Page让这首感伤的音乐故事登上了全美排行榜首位数月之久，并且是当年最畅销单曲，在其后的岁月里，她的这部作品还重新进入排行榜前40名不下六次。
Tennessee Waltz
I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancin'
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
当我和我的亲爱共舞田纳西华尔兹时,
碰巧遇上我的一位老朋友,
把她介绍给我的心上人,
但他们跳舞时,
朋友从我身边偷走了我的爱人,
那刻骨铭心的夜晚和田纳西华尔兹，
现在我知道失去的是那么多，
是的，那个夜晚我失去了心上人，
当乐队演奏
优美的田纳西华尔兹。
