I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz

When an old friend I happened to see

I untroduced 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

Only God knows how much I have lost 

Yes I lost my little darling the night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee Waltz

[ steel - piano ]

I was dancing with my darling...
