TENNESSEE WALTZ

Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King

I was waltzing 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 waltzing,

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 darlin’ the night they were playin’

The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

I was waltzing 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 waltzing,

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 darlin’ the night they were playin’

The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

Redd Stewart and Pee Wee King of the Golden West Cowboys wrote “Tennessee Waltz” during the winter of 1946, in

the back of a truck while traveling to a show in Nashville, TN. The song tells the story of a sweetheart who loses their

beloved to a friend at a dance. “Tennessee Waltz” rose to fame as a country hit for Patti Page in 1950 but was soon a

crossover success for numerous other artists, including Sam Cooke, The Chieftains, and Otis Redding. In addition to its

national and international commercial success, “Tennessee Waltz” is played by many college marching bands, from North

Carolina’s Appalachian State University to Texas’s Baylor University. The State of Tennessee adopted “Tennessee Waltz”

as a state song in 1965.

ROCKY TOP

Felice and Boudleaux Bryant

Wish that I was on ol’ Rocky Top,

down in the Tennessee hills;

Ain’t no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top,

Ain’t no telephone bills;

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top;

Half bea the other half cat;

Wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop

I still dream about that;

Rocky Top, you’ll always be

Home sweet home to me;

Good ol’ Rocky Top;

Rocky Top, Tennesse;

Rocky Top, Tennessee

Once two strangers climbed ol’ Rocky Top,

Lookin’ for a moonshine still;

Strangers ain’t come down from Rocky Top;

Reckon they never will;

Corn won’t grow at all on Rocky Top;

Dirt’s too rocky by far;

That’s why all the folks on Rocky Top

Get their corn from a jar;

Songwriting husband and wife duo Felice and Boudleaux Bryant wrote “Rocky Top” in 1967. The song is about a city-

dweller reflecting longingly on a simple life he/she had in the mountains of East Tennessee. “Rocky Top” was first

recorded by the bluegrass duo The Osborne Brothers. It has since been recorded by numerous artists from various genres,

including Lynn Anderson, Buck Owens, Dolly Parton, John Denver, and Phish. In 1972, “Rocky Top” became the

unofficial fight song for the University of Tennessee. The University’s Pride of the Southland Marching Band is known to

play the song around 30 times during a football game. Because of its commercial success and fan association, “Rocky Top”

was named a state song by the Tennessee state legislature in 1982.

Rocky Top, you’ll always be

Home sweet home to me;

Good ol’ Rocky Top;

Rocky Top, Tennessee;

Rocky Top, Tennessee

I’ve had years of cramped-up city life

Trapped like a duck in a pen;

All I know is it’s a pity life

Can’t be simple again

Rocky Top, you’ll always be

Home sweet home to me;

Good ol’ Rocky Top;

Rocky Top, Tennessee;

Rocky Top, Tennessee

Rocky Top, Tennessee

WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN

Ada Habershon and Charles Gabriel

There are loved ones in the glory,

Whose dear forms you often miss.

When you close your earthly story,

Will you join them in their bliss?

Will the circle be unbroken,

Bye and bye, Lord bye and bye?

Is a better home awaiting,

In the sky Lord, in the sky?

You remember songs of heaven,

Which you sang with childish voice.

Do you love the hymns they taught you?

Or are songs of earth your choice?

Will the circle be unbroken,

Bye and bye, Lord bye and bye?

Is a better home awaiting,

In the sky Lord, in the sky?

“Will the Circle be Unbroken” is a hymn originally written by Ada Habershon and Charles Gabriel in 1907. The song

was re-worked by A.P. Carter and recorded by the early country music recording artists The Carter Family in 1935.

Initially written for funerals, the song has been covered by numerous recording artists and is closely associated with the

Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum®. Each year, the song is sung at the conclusion of the Medallion Ceremony

that officially inducts new members. The chorus to “Will the Circle be Unbroken” is enshrined in the Museum’s Hall of

Fame Rotunda, where the words adorn the top of the room and serve as a reminder of the continuous nature of country

music to all visitors to the Hall of Fame.

You can picture happy gath’rings,

’Round the fireside long ago.

And you think of tearful partings,

When they left you here below.

One by one their seats were emptied.

One by one they went away.

Now the family is parted.

Will it be complete one day?

Will the circle be unbroken,

Bye and bye, Lord bye and bye?

Is a better home awaiting,

In the sky Lord, in the sky.

In the sky Lord, in the sky.

WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN

A.P. Carter

I was standing by my window,

On one cold and cloudy day

When I saw that hearse come rolling,

For to carry my mother away.

Will the circle be unbroken,

Bye and bye, Lord bye and bye?

There’s a better home awaiting,

In the sky Lord in the sky?

I said to that undertaker,

Undertaker please drive slow.

For this lady you are carrying,

Lord I hate to see here go.

Will the circle be unbroken

Bye and bye, Lord bye and bye?

There’s a better home awaiting,

In the sky, Lord in the sky?

“Will the Circle be Unbroken” is a hymn originally written by Ada Habershon and Charles Gabriel in 1907. The song

music to all visitors to the Hall of Fame.

Oh I followed close behind her.

Tried to hold up and be brave.

But I could not hide my sorrow,

When they laid her in the grave.

I went back home. My home was lonesome.

Missed my mother she was gone.

All of my brothers, sisters crying.

What a home so sad and lone.

We sang the songs of childhood.

Hymns of faith that made us strong.

Ones that Mother Maybelle taught us.

Hear the angels sing along.

Will the circle be unbroken,

Bye and bye, Lord bye and bye?

There’s a better home awaiting,

In the sky Lord in the sky.

In the sky Lord in the sky.
