CARIBBEAN Recorded by Hank Snow Writer: Mitchell Torok KEY: B/HERE: C 1. [C] Have you ever been down to Haiti, when The summer sun was sinkin' [G7] low There's nothin' but romance, just everwhere you glance And the native hearts are all a-[C] glow But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene They all stare like a statue out of [F] stone And when they realize what's be-[C] fore their eyes The other [G7] girls are left all a-[C] lone. 2. [C] Down in the Caribbean, it's not a dream you're seein' When you get a glimpse of the lady with the [G7] charm But from miles away you can see her sway To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that [C] forms. 3. [C] Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky Sits a wide-eyed monkey on a [G7] limb He wonders why the people go to so much trouble Just to try to be like [C] himHe doesn't understand, that it's a lady's hand That makes a heart feel so sub-[F] lime But before too long, he starts [C] singing the song And then he [G7] gets in the Conga [C] line. 4. Columbus searched for spices, but he missed the nicest Part of the Caribbean He didn't see the charms and the open arms It was the gold that he was seein' Oh, but I'm glad he missed, the sweetest thing I've kissed 'Cause we're on our honeymoon I'm so sorry Chris, to talk about you like this But you were five-hundred years too soon. Note. Repeat verses 2 and 3. SOURCE: HANK SNOW-JUST KEEP A-MOVIN'/1955 RCA LPM-1113
