| | | | | I was dancin' with my darlin to the Tennessee Waltz When an old friend I happened to see.  Introduced her to my darlin' and while they were dancin' my friend stole my sweetheart from me. 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 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 He goes dancin' in the darkness to the Tennessee Waltz and I feel like I'm falling apart   and it's stronger than drinkin and it's deeper than sorrow this darkness he 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
