I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancin'

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 darlin' the night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee waltz

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancin'

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 darlin' the night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee waltz, the beautiful Tennessee waltz
