[Verse]
I was dancing with my darling to the Ten-Ten-Tennessee waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I Introduced him (Sha-la-la-la) to my darling (Sha-la-la-la) and while they were dancing (Sha-la-la-la)
My friend (Sha-la-la-la) stole my lover (Sha-la-la-la) from me
[Chorus]
I remember (Remember) the night and the Ten-Ten-Tennessee waltz
Now I know (Now I know) just how much (Just how much) I have lost (Just how much I have lost)
Oh, I lost my (Tenne-Tenne) little darlin' (Tennessee waltz) on the night (Tenne-Tenne) they were playing (Tennessee waltz)
The beautiful (Tenne-Tenne) Ten-Ten-Tennessee waltz (Tennessee waltz)
Yes, I remember (Remember) the night and the Ten-Ten-Tennessee waltz
Now I know (Now I know) just how much (Just how much) I have lost (Just how much I have lost)
Oh, I lost my (Tenne-Tenne) little darlin' (Tennessee waltz) on the night (Tenne-Tenne) they were playing (Tennessee waltz)
The beautiful (Tenne-Tenne) Ten-Ten-Tennessee waltz (Tennessee waltz)
[Outro]
Oh, on the beautiful (Tenne-Tenne) Ten-Ten-Tennessee waltz (Tennessee waltz)
On the beautiful (Tenne-Tenne) Ten-Ten-Tennessee waltz (Tennessee waltz)
Tennessee Waltz was written by Redd Stewart & Pee Wee King.
