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]

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
The beautiful tennessee waltz
