Sides face grand square
I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Allemande left and weave
I introduced him to my darlin' and while they were dancing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

Now I wonder how a dance like the Tennessee Waltz
Could have broken my heart so complete
Allemande left and weave
Well I couldn't blame my darlin', and who could help falling
In love with my darling so sweet

Heads square thru count four hands round
Meet your corner, touch 1/4 now
Split circulate, boys run right and then right & left thru turn that girl
Pass the ocean, swing thru now
Swing your corner, promenade her
To that beautiful Tennessee Waltz
