I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee waltz When an old friend I happened to meet I introduced her to my darling And while they were dancing my friend stole my sweetheart from me I remember the night and the Tennessee waltz I know now just what I have lost Yes, I've lost my little darling The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee waltz The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee waltz The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee waltz I remember the night and the Tennessee waltz I know now just what I have lost Yes, I've lost my little darling The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee waltz Oh, the beautiful Tennessee waltz The night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee waltz
