I was dancin' with my darlin'
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
