I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet
I had a new distance to my darling, 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 darlin'
The night they were playin 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 darlin'
The night they were playin the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Oh the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
