I was dancing with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to meet.

I introduced her to my darling, and while they were dancing,

My friend stole my sweetheart from me.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz,

I'm knowing now just what I have lost.

Yes, I've lost my little darlin'

The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee Waltz

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz,

I'm knowing now just what I have lost.

Yes, I've lost my little darlin'

The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Oh, the beautiful Tennessee Waltz.
