I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz 

When an old friend I happened to see 

Introduced him 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 

Yes, I lost my little darling the night they were playing 

That beautiful Tennessee Waltz 

That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
