Tina 1934

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Oct 2002

Lombardy's harvest is ending
laughter and song fill the air
over the vines night descending
brings a mem'ry tender and rare.
Only a year since we parted
under a pale ev'ning star
now I'm here broken hearted
wond'ring just where you are.

Tina soon the leaves will be falling
thro' the Vineland I'm calling
"Won't you come back to me?"
Tina mandolines are aringing
but the song that they're singing
is a sad melody.
Tell me why you have wandered away
when you vowed you were mine.
Have you gone to a life that is gay
where the bright lights shine
Oh Tina soon the leaves will be falling
thro' the Vineland I'm calling
"Won't you come back to me?"

Tina soon the leaves will be falling
thro' the Vineland I'm calling
"Won't you come back to me?"
Tina mandolines are aringing
but the song that they're singing
is a sad melody.
Tell me why you have wandered away
when you vowed you were mine.
Have you gone to a life that is gay
where the bright lights shine
Oh Tina soon the leaves will be falling
thro' the Vineland I'm calling
"Won't you come back to me?"

Lombardy's lonely without you
now with the white moon above,
people are wond'ring about you
for it seems they knew of our love.
Since you have gone to the city
somehow life isn't the same,
think of me in your pity
calling calling your name.

Tina soon the leaves will be falling
thro' the Vineland I'm calling
"Won't you come back to me?"
Tina mandolines are aringing
but the song that they're singing
is a sad melody.
Tell me why you have wandered away
when you vowed you were mine.
Have you gone to a life that is gay
where the bright lights shine
Oh Tina soon the leaves will be falling
thro' the Vineland I'm calling
"Won't you come back to me?"

Tina soon the leaves will be falling
thro' the Vineland I'm calling
"Won't you come back to me?"
Tina mandolines are aringing
but the song that they're singing
is a sad melody.
Tell me why you have wandered away
when you vowed you were mine.
Have you gone to a life that is gay
where the bright lights shine
Oh Tina soon the leaves will be falling
thro' the Vineland I'm calling
"Won't you come back to me?"
