Lyrics
High among the gipsy hills
Mingling with the mountain rills
Softly as the night was closing in
Suddenly I heard a violin
Then I heard a song of love
Echo to the stars above
And I still can hear that gipsy
As he sang this song
Refrain
The story of Tina began in the Springtime
When Tina was sweet seventeen
The boy said he loved her
And she gave her promise
The truest that ever has been
And then came the wedding
One morning in May
And still they are sweethearts
Tho’ years roll away
The story of Tina is love’s grand adventure
As sweet as a love song can be
The story of Tina and me
