I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet, oh yes
I introduced him to my baby
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart away from me
I remember that night and the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
But do you know how much I have lost, yes I have
I have lost my lovin' baby
The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I remember that night and the beautiful Tennessee Waltz
But do you know how much I have lost, yes I have
I have lost my lovin' baby
The night they won't stop playing the beautiful Tennessee Waltz.
