Marty Robbins – Calypso Girl (Guitar)

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

  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                          E
What makes the lonely teardrops 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            E
We celebrated and with kisses warm she led

      A
me on

              E                 B7
She promised she would wait for me while I

     E
was gone

  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                          E
What makes the lonely teardrops 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

              E                    B7
And then she danced for him with eyes that

     E               A
And form that whirls

            E                   B7
For no one love could hold the heart of

         E
calypso girl

  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                          E
What makes the lonely teardrops 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

              E                B7
No one would care to see that beggar woman

 E              A
dance and whirl

              E                  B7
It broke my heart to know it was my calypso

E
girl

  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                          E
What makes the lonely teardrops start
