I was dancing with my darling
To the Tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced her 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
The beautiful Tennessee waltz

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
The beautiful, the beautiful
The beautiful Tennessee waltz
