I was walt zin'

With my dar lin'

To the te nne ssee waltz

When an old friend

I ha ppened

To see

In tro duced him

To my loved one

And while they were walt zin'

My friend stole

My sweet heart

From me

And I re mem ber

The night

The te nne ssee waltz

Now I know

Just how much

That I've lost

Yes I lost my

Li ttle dar lin'

The night they were play ing

The beau ti ful te nne ssee waltz

And I re mem ber

The night

And the te nne ssee waltz

Now I know

Yes I lost my

Li ttle dar lin'

The night they were play ing

The beau ti ful te nne ssee waltz
