Lyrics

  1. Up in the Alpine mountains many miles away
    There lives a Tyrol lad, he’s feeling sad today
    He met a doll who taught him how to love
    She’d call him sweetie dear and turtle dove
    Now she is gone
    He lingers on this refrain

Chorus
Just like summer Alpine skies above
Ev’rything is blue, my heart is sad
I’m feelin’ bad
Oh! I need your lovin’ hon’ to be glad
Baby you just stole my heart and love
Then you went away, I’m all alone
The breezes moan the Alpine blues

  1. She never wrote a note or told him a find goodbye
    Now he is puzzled just to find the reason why
    He never knew she was a vampire bold
    Why even all her little tricks were old
    Oh! how he fell
    Just hear him tell it again
