I was dancing with my darling

To the Tennessee waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

I introduced her to my loved one

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 darling

The night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee waltz

I was dancing with my darling

To the Tennessee waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

I introduced her to my loved one

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 darling

The night they were playing

The beautiful Tennessee waltz
