I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced him to my loved one
And while they were dancing
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 darling the night they were playing
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced him to my loved one
And while they were dancing
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 darling the night they were playing
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
