I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend
I happened to see, oh yes

I introduced him to my baby
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart
Away from me (some friend)

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
But do you know how much I have lost
Yes, I have lost my loving baby
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz, oh yeah

I remember that night and that beautiful Tennessee Waltz
But do you know
Do you know how much I've lost
Oh you know have
Yes, I have lost my loving baby
The night they would not stop playing

Oh that beautiful, that marvellous
That wonderful, that glorious
That extra wide screen, vistavision
Cinemascope, Eastman colour
Cecil B de Mille production
Everything, everything you could name
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Yeah, yeah
