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 When I lost my little darling the night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee waltz 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 The beautiful Tennessee waltz
