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
