I was waltzing with my darling
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet
I introduced her to my sweetheart
While they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
Well, I remember the night
And the Tennessee Waltz
Only you know how much I have lost
I have lost my only sweetheart
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Well, I remember that night
And the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
I have lost my only sweetheart
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
