I was waltzing with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz,

When an old friend I happened to see.

Introduced him 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 darlin' the night they were playing,

The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.
