More chords by Hank Snow

Genre: country, folk, pop


[Verse 1]
G
Have you ever been down to Haiti
D7
When the summer sun was sinking low
D7
There's nothing but romance just ever where you glance
D7 G
And the native hearts are all a glow

[Verse 2]
G
But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
C
They all stare like a statue out of stone
G
And when they realize what's before their eyes
D7 G
The other girls are left all alone

[Verse 3]
G
Down in the Caribbean it's not a dream you're seeing
D7
When you get a glimpse of the lady with the charm
D7
But from miles away you can see her sway
G
To the beat of the Cuban Conga line that forms

[Verse 4]
G
Up in a tree so high, way up in the sky
D7
Sits a wide-eyed monkey on a limb
D7
He wonders why the people go to so much trouble
G
Just to try to be like him

[Verse 5]
D7
He doesn't understand that it's a lady's hand
C
That makes a heart feel so sublime
G
But before too long he starts singing the song
D7 G
And then he gets in the Conga line

[Instrumental]

[Verse 6]
G
Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest
D7
Part of the Caribbean
D7
He didn't see the charms and the open arms
G
It was the gold that he was seeing
