I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

Introduced her to my loved one and while they were waltzing

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 waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

Introduced her to my loved one and while they were waltzing

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
