Caribbean-crd

Hank Snow

 C
1.  Have you ever been down to Haiti, when
 G7
The summer sun was sinkin'  low
There's nothin' but romance, just everwhere you glance
 C
And the native hearts are all a- glow
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
 F
They all stare like a statue out of  stone
 C
And when they realize what's be- fore their eyes
 G7C
The other  girls are left all a- lone.

 C
2.  Down in the Caribbean, it's not a dream you're seein'
 G7
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the  charm
But from miles away you can see her sway
 C
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that  forms.

 C
3.  Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky
 G7
Sits a wide-eyed monkey on a  limb
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
 C
Just to try to be like  him
He doesn't understand, that it's a lady's hand
 F
That makes a heart feel so sub- lime
 C
But before too long, he starts  singing the song
 G7C
And then he  gets in the Conga  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.
