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

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
