Calypso Girl Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Down in Jamaica where the soft winds blow 

I took a trip it was a long time ago 

From distant shores the music gently played 

And I was hypnotized by a dark skinned girl that danced and whirled 

Quickly I knew I was in love with that calypso girl 

Dance and whirl calypso girl you could never give your heart 

Dance and dine and drink the wine 

But someday you will know what makes the lonely teardrops start 

She danced in Del Camino Inn each night 

And how I longed to kiss and hold her tight 

Her sparkling eyes were burning just for me 

We celebrated and with kisses warm she led me on 

She promised she would wait for me while I was gone 

Dance and whirl calypso girl... 

The night I left she said she loved me so 

And went into another's arms I know 

They raised their glass and drank a toast to love 

And then she danced for him with eyes that tempt and form that whirls 

For no one love could hold the heart of calypso girl 

Dance and whirl calypso ... 

Back to Jamaica I did go one day 

Down to Camino Inn to hear them play 

Outside the door was a woman dressed in rags 

No one would care to see that beggar woman dance and whirl 

It broke my heart to know it was my calypso girl 

Dance and whirl calypso girl...
