lyrics
I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced her to my loved one, and while they were waltzing
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 the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced her to my loved one, and while they were waltzing
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 the night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz
