</a> <br></br>Uncle John's Tennessee Dance Marathon (1948)<br></br>
1. I was walking down the street, when an old lady I did meet<br></br>
She said "I'm looking for a man called "young John B"<br></br>
She described him to a "T", I said he's "Uncle John" to me<br></br>
And he certainly ain't a young man, from what I can see<br></br>

</a><br />Uncle John's Tennessee Dance Marathon (1948)<br />
1. I was walking down the street, when an old lady I did meet<br />
She said "I'm looking for a man called "young John B"<br />
She described him to a "T", I said he's "Uncle John" to me<br />
And he certainly ain't a young man, from what I can see<br />
<br />
2. Then her story she did relate, in Tennessee in "forty eight"<br />
When she and Uncle John were just sixteen<br />
The all night dancin' craze was on, she was good, but so was John<br />
And they won near every trophy to be seen<br />
<br />
3. I was surprised , I've got to say, that John could dance the night away<br />
For he certainly can't sing, or play guitar<br />
The old Lady then spoke on, said she must seen him, soon she'd be gone<br />
With six white horses to lead that black car<br />
<br />
4. Seems she wanted one last dance, a simple jive, with no romance<br />
Just to bring those old memories out to play<br />
I messaged John, said "you gotta come, there's a lady here, and she's dying some<br />
And all she wants, is one dance with you, to see her on her way<br />
<br />
5. With Linda's blessing, John came down, to the rockin' side of town<br />
And they danced , in a jukebox joint, a little down the way<br />
The old lady died alone that night, in her hotel room, she'd no more fight<br />
And somewhere in heaven , there's a jukebox , that always plays:<br />
I remember that night and the Tennessee Waltz<br />
Now I know just how much I have lost<br />
Yes I lost my little darling the night they were playing<br />
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
