When an old friend I happened to see.
I introduced her to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my lover from me.
Oh, I remember the night and the Te Te Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
Oh, I lost my little darlin' on the night they were playin'
Yeah, I remember the night and the Te Te Tennessee Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
I lost my darlin' my little darlin' on the night they were playin'
That beautiful Te Te Tennessee Waltz
Yeah, That beautiful Te Te Tennessee Waltz
Oh, remember that beautiful Te Te Tennessee Waltz
Hmm, I remember that beautiful Tennessee Waltz
Yeah, I remember that beautiful Te Te Tennessee Waltz.
