I was dancin' with my darlin' to the tennessee waltz
when an old friend i happened to see
i introduced her to my loved one
and while they were dancin'
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 darlin' the night they were playing
the beautiful tennessee waltz
<instrumental interlude>
Repeat all
