Lyrics

I was dancing with my darling 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 darling on the night they were playing The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
