LYRICS

Well, I was dancin' with my baby
To that Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened, I happened to see
Oh yeah
I introduced him to my baby
And while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart away from me
Oh yes he did

I remember the night
And that beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Only you know
How much I lost
Oh yeah
You know that I lost my, lost my baby
That night they kept on playin'
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Oh yeah

I was dancin' with my baby
To that Tenn-uh... Tennessee Waltz
When that old friend I happened, I happened to see
Oh yeah
Introduced him to my baby
While, while they were dancin'
That dirty dog stole my baby away from me
Oh yeah

But I remember that night
And that beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Only you know
Just how much, how much I lost
Oh yeah
You know that I lost my, lost my baby
That night they kept on playin'
That beautiful
That wonderful
That marvelous
That glorious
That beautiful Tennessee Waltz
