Rona, first, it's not ignorant to ask for something when you aren't sure...anyway, these are some of the words I know for sure, at least the first verse and chorus:

I was dancin'
with my darlin'
to the Tennessee waltz,
when an old friend
I happened to meet.
I introduced him
to my loved one;
and while they were dancin',
my friend stole my sweetheart from me.
[Chorus]
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 playin'
the beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

I know there are a couple more verses, but I'm not sure exactly how they go...this is the version played by a guy, and you can change the "him" to "her" for whomever is singing it...such as when Patti Paige sang it...back in the day :D
