I was dancin' with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I just happened to see

I introduced her to my darling one

And while they were dancin'

My friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz

And I knew just how much I had lost

I have lost my little darlin'

The night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

Now I go to the bottle

Spent my time drinking

Drink to forget where

Where in

But I look into my whisky

Than I start thinking

And the Tennessee Waltz plays again

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz

And I knew just how much I had lost

I have lost my little darlin'

The night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
