GYPSY FIDDLES
(Allie Wruble)

as recorded by Arthur Tracy
(vocal & accordion)
with Victor Young and his Orchestra
1933


Love for us began
When a gypsy caravan
Came to rest beneath a starry sky.
In the gypsy fire's gleam
We were living in a dream,
We were happy then, dear, you and I.

Gypsy fiddles were playing
And the moon was calling above.
Gypsy fiddles were playing,
Was a night for love.

In my arms you were swaying
To a song of music divine.
Gypsy fiddles were playing,
You were mine, all mine!

Then and there you kissed me so tenderly,
Tenderly you gave me your vow.

I remember you saying,
"It is you I will always adore!",
Gypsy fiddles were playing,
But they play no more!

I remember you saying,
"It is you I will always adore!",
Gypsy fiddles were playing,
But they play no more!
