(Redd Stewart/Pee Wee King)

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
|
