I was dancing with my baby
To that Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened
Happened to see

Well I didn't know I was going to see him
I introduced him to my baby
While, while they kept on playing
That friend stole my sweetheart
Away from me, yes, he did

I remember, yeah, that night
Of that beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Oh you know, you'll never know
You'll never know just how much I've lost, ooh

I lost my baby, my sweet baby
While, while they kept on playing
That beautiful Tenne-Tennessee Waltz

Yeah, yeah, yeah, now

I remember, yeah, that night
Of that beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Oh. you know, you know, you know
Just how much I've lost
Ooh honey, I lost too much, yeah

I lost my baby, my sweet baby
While, while they kept on playing
That beautiful, wonderful
That marvelous, yeah man, that glorious
That cotton pickin' Tenne-Tennessee Waltz

I lost my baby, my, my, my, my, baby
