I was dancing with my darlin'
to the Tennesse waltz
when an old friend I happened to see.
I introduced her to my loved one,
and while they were waltzing
my friend stole my sweet-heart 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 playing
 the beautiful Tennessee waltz.

Yes I lost my little darlin'

제 애인과 춤을 추었죠
테네시 왈츠에 맞춰
그때 우연히 옛 친구를 만나서
제 애인을 그녀에게 소개했죠
그들 춤을 추던 동안
제 친구 제 애인을 훔쳤어요

기억해요 그날밤
그 테네시 왈츠도
이제야  알아요 얼마나 많은 걸 잃었나
그래요, 제 앳된 애인 잃었어요
그들이 연주하던 그날밤
그 아름다운 테네시 왈츠를
