| 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 |
