I was dancing with my darling

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 know now just what I have lost

Yes I lost my little darling

The night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee waltz

I remember the night

And the Tennessee waltz

I know now just what I have lost

Yes I lost my little darling

The night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee waltz

Oh the beautiful Tennessee waltz
