The Tennessee Waltz
I was dancing with my darling
To the Tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happened to see.
Introduced her to my loved one,
And while they were dancing,
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.
I remember the night,
And the Tennessee waltz.
Now I know just how much I have lost.
Yes, I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee waltz.
歌词大意
我正与心上人随着
田纳西华尔兹跳舞，
恰巧遇到一个老朋友．
我把她介绍给我的心上人，
但当他们共舞时，
我的朋友夺走了我的心上人。
我仍记得那一夜
和那田纳西华尔兹。
现在方知损失多么惨重。
是啊，就在那个晚上，
伴随着那首动听的田纳西华尔兹，
我失去了我的爱人。
