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      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
