Calypso Girl

E

E                         B7
Down in Jamaica where the soft winds
 blow
                         E
I took a trip, it was a long time 
ago
          E7             A
From distant shores the music gently
 played
              E            B7
And I was hypnotized by a dark 
skinned girl
       E
That danced and whirled
   A        E             B7
Quickly I knew I was in love with 
that
         E
calypso girl


[Chorus]
  B7                E
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
  B7             E
You could never give your heart
  B7                 E
Dance and dine and drink the wine
 A           E
But someday you will know
      B7                       
What makes the lonely teardrops 
   E
start


E                         B7
She danced in Del Camino Inn each 
night
                              E
And how I longed to kiss and hold 
her tight
               E7         A
Her sparkling eyes were burning just
 for me
        E                 B7      
We celebrated and with kisses warm
      E
 she led
      A
me on
Continúa después del anuncio
              E                 B7
She promised she would wait for me 
while I
     E
was gone


[Chorus]
  B7                E
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
  B7             E
You could never give your heart
  B7                 E
Dance and dine and drink the wine
 A           E
But someday you will know
      B7                       
What makes the lonely teardrops 
   E
start

                               B7
The night I left she said she loved 
me so
                          E
And went into another's arms I know
                    E7        A
They raised their glass and drank a 
toast

to love
              E                 
And then she danced for him with 
   B7
eyes that

tempt
     E               A
And form that whirls
            E                   B7
For no one love could hold the heart
 of
         E
calypso girl


[Chorus]
  B7                E
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
  B7             E
You could never give your heart
  B7                 E
Dance and dine and drink the wine
 A           E
But someday you will know
      B7                       
What makes the lonely teardrops 
   E
start

 E                    B7
Back to Jamaica I did go one day
                       E
Down to Camino Inn to hear them play
             E7          A
Outside the door, was a woman 
dressed in

rags
              E                B7
No one would care to see that beggar
 woman
 E              A
dance and whirl
              E                  
It broke my heart to know it was my 
B7
calypso
E
girl


[Chorus]
  B7                E
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
  B7             E
You could never give your heart
  B7                 E
Dance and dine and drink the wine
 A           E
But someday you will know
      B7                       
What makes the lonely teardrops 
   E
start
