1
Down in Jamaica where the soft winds blow
2
I took a trip, it was a long time ago
3
From distant shores the music gently played
4
And I was hypnotized by a dark skinned girl
5
That danced and whirled
6
Quickly I knew I was in love with that calypso girl.
7
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
8
You could never give your heart
9
Dance and dine and drink the wine
10
But someday you will know
11
What makes the lonely teardrops start.
12
She danced in Delcamino Inn each night
13
And how I longed to kiss and hold her tight
14
Her sparkling eyes were burning just for me
15
We celebrated and with kisses warm she led me on
16
She promised she would wait for me while I was gone.
17
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
18
You could never give your heart
19
Dance and dine and drink the wine
20
But someday you will know
21
What makes the lonely teardrops start.
22
The night I left she said she loved me so
23
And went into another's arms I know
24
They raised their glass and drank a toast to love
25
And then she danced for him with eyes that tempt
26
And form that whirls
27
For no one love could hold the heart of calypso girl.
28
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
29
You could never give your heart
30
Dance and dine and drink the wine
31
But someday you will know
32
What makes the lonely teardrops start.
33
Back to Jamaica I did go one day
34
Down to Camino Inn to hear them play
35
Outside the door was a woman dressed in rags
36
No one would care to see that beggar woman
37
Dance and whirl
38
It broke my heart to know it was my calypso girl.
39
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
40
You could never give your heart
41
Dance and dine and drink the wine
42
But someday you will know
43
What makes the lonely teardrops start...
