Marty Robbins - Calypso Girl lyrics
rate meDown in Jamaica where the soft winds blow<br />
I took a trip, it was a long time ago<br />
From distant shores the music gently played<br />
And I was hypnotized by a dark skinned girl<br />
That danced and whirled<br />
Quickly I knew I was in love with that calypso girl.<br />
<br />
Dance and whirl, calypso girl<br />
You could never give your heart<br />
Dance and dine and drink the wine<br />
But someday you will know<br />
What makes the lonely teardrops start.<br />
<br />
She danced in DelCamino Inn each night<br />
And how I longed to kiss and hold her tight<br />
Her sparkling eyes were burning just for me<br />
We celebrated and with kisses warm she led me on<br />
She promised she would wait for me while I was gone.<br />
<br />
Dance and whirl, calypso girl<br />
You could never give your heart<br />
Dance and dine and drink the wine<br />
But someday you will know<br />
What makes the lonely teardrops start.<br />
<br />
The night I left she said she loved me so<br />
And went into another's arms I know<br />
They raised their glass and drank a toast to love<br />
And then she danced for him with eyes that tempt<br />
And form that whirls<br />
For no one love could hold the heart of calypso girl.<br />
<br />
Dance and whirl, calypso girl<br />
You could never give your heart<br />
Dance and dine and drink the wine<br />
But someday you will know<br />
What makes the lonely teardrops start.<br />
<br />
Back to Jamaica I did go one day<br />
Down to Camino Inn to hear them play<br />
Outside the door was a woman dressed in rags<br />
No one would care to see that beggar woman<br />
Dance and whirl<br />
It broke my heart to know it was my calypso girl.<br />
<br />
Dance and whirl, calypso girl<br />
You could never give your heart<br />
Dance and dine and drink the wine<br />
But someday you will know<br />
What makes the lonely teardrops start...
