To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her 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 darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

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 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 darlin'
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
