Tennessee Waltz Lyrics

Tennessee Waltz lyrics

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
