i was dancing with my daring
to the Tennessee waltz
when an old friend i happened to see
introduced her to my loved one
and while they were dacing
my friend stole my sweetheat from me
i remenber 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
（music）
