Pee Wee King also scored with "The Tennessee Waltz" in 1948. Perhaps this tune was inspired by "The Missouri Waltz,", a song that could not be played on the radio today due to its highly politically incorrect lyrics.

Patti Page’s version of the Tennessee Waltz was picked by her to record as the B-side of “Boogie Woogie Santa Claus”. The Waltz was kind of a throwaway pick that quickly overtook the main choice.
