Verse 1:
Am E
Way down in Jamaica in the tropical heat
Am
I met a gal, we took a trip on the train with the rhumba beat
E
Her eyes were bright and shiny, her lips were red and sweet
Am
Her hair was black as the coal they used on the train with the rhumba beat
Chorus:
Am
Carry me
E Am
Carry my wonderin' heart home
Intrumental Break:
|Am |E |Am |
Verse 2:
Am E
I feel her hot lips kiss me above this tropical heat
Am
You can tell my baby I'm a-comin' home on the train with the rhumba beat
E
Soft arms are awaiting me, my life will be complete
Am
You can tell my baby I'm a-comin' home on the train with the rhumba beat
Chorus:
Am
Carry me
E Am
Carry my wonderin' heart home
Intrumental Break:

Verse 3:
Am E
I've traveled this world all over but none could ever beat
Am
The pretty little gal I met and loved on the train with the rhumba beat
E
Her soft arms are awaiting me, my life will be complete
Am
You can tell my baby I'm a-comin' home on the train with the rhumba beat
Chorus:
Am
Carry me
E Am
Carry my wonderin' heart home
E Am
Carry my wonderin' heart home
E Am
Carry my wonderin' heart home
