Caribbean - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
Written by:Mitchell Torok[00:00:00]
Have you ever been down to Haiti[00:00:07]
When the summer sun was sinkin' low[00:00:09]
There's nothing but romance[00:00:13]
Just everywhere you glance[00:00:15]
And the native hearts are all aglow[00:00:16]
But when the cuban queen comes upon the scene[00:00:19]
They all stare like a statue out of stone[00:00:23]
When they realize what's before[00:00:26]
Their eyes the other girls are left all alone[00:00:28]
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'[00:00:32]
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm[00:00:35]
And from miles away you can see her sway[00:00:38]
To the beat of the cuban conga line that forms[00:00:41]
Up in a tree so high way up in the sky[00:00:45]
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb[00:00:48]
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble[00:00:51]
Just to try to be like him[00:00:54]
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand[00:00:57]
That makes a heart feel so sublime[00:01:00]
And before too long he starts singing the song[00:01:04]
And then he gets in the conga line[00:01:07]
Columbus searched for spices[00:01:23]
But he missed the nicest part of the Caribbean[00:01:24]
He didn't see the charms and the open arms[00:01:29]
It was the gold that he was seein'[00:01:32]
But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I've kissed[00:01:35]
'Cause we're on our honeymoon[00:01:38]
And I'm so sorry chris to talk about you like this[00:01:41]
But you were five hundred years too soon[00:01:45]
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seein'[00:01:48]
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm[00:01:51]
And from miles away you can see her sway[00:01:54]
To the beat of the cuban conga line that forms[00:01:57]
Up in a tree so high way up in the sky[00:02:00]
Sits a wide eyed monkey on a limb[00:02:04]
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble[00:02:06]
Just to try to be like him[00:02:10]
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand[00:02:13]
That makes a heart feel so sublime[00:02:16]
But before too long he starts singing the song[00:02:19]
And then he gets in the conga line[00:02:22]
