I was waltzin' 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 waltzin'
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 playin'
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
(Tennessee Waltz)

Yes, I lost my little darlin', the night they were playin'
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
(Ooh, the Tennessee Waltz)
