I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend I happened to see. I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancin' 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 playin' That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz Could have broken my heart so complete Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help fallin' In love with my darlin' so sweet
Well it must be the fault of the Tennessee Waltz Wish I'd known just how much it would cost But I didn't see it comin', it's all over but the cryin' Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
She goes dancin' with the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz And I feel like I'm falling apart And it's stronger than drink and it's deeper than sorrow This darkness she left in my heart
I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz Cause I know just how much I have lost Yes I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin' That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
