I was waltzing with my darling to the tennessee walts
when an old friend I happened to meet
I introduced her to my sweetheart
while the were dancing
my friend stole my sweetheart from me
well I remember the night
and the Tennessee waltz
only you know how much I have lost
I have lost my only sweetheart
the night they were playing
the beautiful Tennessee waltz
well I remember that night
and the Tennessee waltz
now I know just how much I have lost
I have lost my only sweetheart
the night they were playing
a beautiful Tennessee waltz
that beautiful Tennessee waltz
