Lyrics
I was waltzing with my darlin’ to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancin’
My friend stole my sweetheart from me
I remember that night and the Tennessee Waltz
Only you know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darlin’ the night they were playin’
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
I remember that night and the Tennessee Waltz
Only you know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darlin’ the night they were playin’
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
