Marty Robbins - Calypso Girl Lyrics
Down in Jamaica where the soft winds blowI took a trip, it was a long time agoFrom distant shores the music gently playedAnd I was hypnotized by a dark skinned girlThat danced and whirledQuickly I knew I was in love with that calypso girlDance and whirl, calypso girlYou could never give your heartDance and dine and drink the wineBut someday you will knowWhat makes the lonely teardrops startShe danced in DelCamino Inn each nightAnd how I longed to kiss and hold her tightHer sparkling eyes were burning just for meWe celebrated and with kisses warm she led me onShe promised she would wait for me while I was goneDance and whirl, calypso girlYou could never give your heartDance and dine and drink the wineBut someday you will knowWhat makes the lonely teardrops startThe night I left she said she loved me soAnd went into another's arms I knowThey raised their glass and drank a toast to loveAnd then she danced for him with eyes that temptAnd form that whirlsFor no one love could hold the heart of calypso girlDance and whirl, calypso girlYou could never give your heartDance and dine and drink the wineBut someday you will knowWhat makes the lonely teardrops startBack to Jamaica I did go one dayDown to Camino Inn to hear them playOutside the door was a woman dressed in ragsNo one would care to see that beggar womanDance and whirlIt broke my heart to know it was my calypso girlDance and whirl, calypso girlYou could never give your heartDance and dine and drink the wineBut someday you will knowWhat makes the lonely teardrops start
