Intro:
E MajorE

E MajorE             B7B7
Down in Jamaica where the soft winds blow
             E MajorE
I took a trip, it was a long time ago
     E7E7       A augmentedA
From distant shores the music gently played
       E MajorE      B7B7
And I was hypnotized by a dark skinned girl
    E MajorE
That danced and whirled
  A augmentedA    E MajorE       B7B7
Quickly I knew I was in love with that
     E MajorE
calypso girl

Chorus:
 B7B7        E MajorE
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
 B7B7       E MajorE
You could never give your heart
 B7B7         E MajorE
Dance and dine and drink the wine
 A augmentedA      E MajorE
But someday you will know
   B7B7             E MajorE
What makes the lonely teardrops start


E MajorE             B7B7
She danced in Del Camino Inn each night
               E MajorE
And how I longed to kiss and hold her tight
        E7E7     A augmentedA
Her sparkling eyes were burning just for me
    E MajorE         B7B7      E MajorE
We celebrated and with kisses warm she led
   A augmentedA
me on
       E MajorE         B7B7
She promised she would wait for me while I
   E MajorE
was gone


Chorus:
 B7B7        E MajorE
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
 B7B7       E MajorE
You could never give your heart
 B7B7         E MajorE
Dance and dine and drink the wine
 A augmentedA      E MajorE
But someday you will know
   B7B7             E MajorE
What makes the lonely teardrops start

                B7B7
The night I left she said she loved me so
             E MajorE
And went into another's arms I know
          E7E7    A augmentedA
They raised their glass and drank a toast

to love
       E MajorE          B7B7
And then she danced for him with eyes that

tempt
   E MajorE        A augmentedA
And form that whirls
      E MajorE          B7B7
For no one love could hold the heart of
     E MajorE
calypso girl

Chorus:
 B7B7        E MajorE
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
 B7B7       E MajorE
You could never give your heart
 B7B7         E MajorE
Dance and dine and drink the wine
 A augmentedA      E MajorE
But someday you will know
   B7B7             E MajorE
What makes the lonely teardrops start

 E MajorE          B7B7
Back to Jamaica I did go one day
            E MajorE
Down to Camino Inn to hear them play
       E7E7     A augmentedA
Outside the door, was a woman dressed in

rags
       E MajorE        B7B7
No one would care to see that beggar woman
 E MajorE       A augmentedA
dance and whirl
       E MajorE         B7B7
It broke my heart to know it was my calypso
E MajorE
girl


Chorus:
 B7B7        E MajorE
Dance and whirl, calypso girl
 B7B7       E MajorE
You could never give your heart
 B7B7         E MajorE
Dance and dine and drink the wine
 A augmentedA      E MajorE
But someday you will know
   B7B7             E MajorE
What makes the lonely teardrops start
