I was dancin' with my darlin'
To the Tennessee waltz,
When an old friend I happened to see.
Introduced her to my loved one,
And while they were dancin',
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.
去りにし夢あのテネシー・ワルツ なつかし愛の唄
面影しのんで今宵も歌う うるわしテネシー・ワルツ
思い出なつかしあのテネシー・ワルツ 今宵も流れ来る
別れたあの娘(こ)今はいずこ 呼べど帰らない
I remember the night,
And the Tennessee waltz,
Now I know just how much I've lost,
Yes I lost my little darlin',
The night they were playin',
To the beautiful Tennessee waltz .
