Billy Walker Lyrics
"Tina"

(Arthur Leo Owens)

Tina your cheeks are as red as the rose in the spring
Your hair is as yellow as the primrose that blooms on the hill
Your eyes are as blue as the brook in the valley below
Don't beg me to stay for I want to stay but Tina it's better I'll go.

I must go to Laredo with guns out and ready
To face Anatoria's man
My wish is to stay here and love you forever
But his is to spill my blood on the sand.

Your love makes me want to go rushing away a life to win
And come hurrying back to the warmth of your loving arms
Before either one of his murdering hands touch either one of his guns.

Tina your cheeks are as red as the rose in the spring
Your hair is as yellow as the primrose that blooms on the hill
Your eyes are as blue as the brook in the valley below
Don't beg me to stay for I want to stay but Tina it's better I'll go...
