Tina, soon the leaves will be falling
Through the vine land I’m calling
Won’t you come back to me
Tina, mandolins are a-ringing
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
Through the vine land I’m calling
Won’t you come back to me.
