I was dancing with my darlin'
To the Tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happend to see
I introduced him to my darlin'
And while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart to me
I remember the night
And the Tennessee waltz
'Cause I know just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The 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 commin',
It's all over but the cryin'
Blame it all on the Tennessee Waltz
