Subject: RE: Origins: Tennessee Waltz
Thanks, Jim Lad. Now that you've pointed it out, I like "dancing" better too, because there's nice alliteration between dancing and darling.

Speaking as a person with a sister-in-law from Tennessee, I want to point out that Tennessee rhymes with Hennessey. TEN-eh-see not ten-eh-SEE. This is esp. good to know when you sing the last line:

   ...the beautiful TENN-e-see Waltz.

Thanks to whoever mentioned the song "You Belong to Me." I think I'll learn that one for singing around the house.
