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 And while they were dancing My friends 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
