I was dancing with my darling
To the Tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet
I introduced her to my darling
And 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 darling
The night they were playing
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 darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee waltz
Oh the beautiful Tennessee waltz
