I was dancing with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced him to my Darlin'
And while they were dancing
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 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

Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful, the wonderful, the marvelous, the glorious, the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
