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 how much 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
