I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee waltz
When an old friend
I happened to see
I introduced him to my darlin'
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole
my sweetheart from me
Chorus:
I remember the night
Of the Tennesse waltz
Now I know just
how much I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin'
The night they were playin'
The beautiful Tennesse waltz.
