I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him to my loved one,
And while they.. Were dancing,
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night,
And the tennessee waltz
Only you know 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
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced him to my loved one,
And while they were dancing,
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night,
And the tennessee waltz
Only you know how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful tennessee waltz
