Angelina

(álbum: Jump Up Calypso - 1961)

Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me cause I'll be coming home from sea

Yes its so long since I've been home
Seems like there's no place to roam
Well I've sailed around the Horn
I've been from San Jose up to Baffin Bay
And I've rode out many a storm

Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me cause I'll be coming home from sea

Well I've heard the bawdy tunes
I've been in honky tonk saloons
I took my liquor by the vat
Well I stayed on call for a rousing brawl
Home was where I hung my hat

Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me cause I'll be coming home from sea

Now I've courted many a girl
I've been in ports all around the world
But my rambling days are done
I've been from Curacao up to Tokyo
And I've found there's only one

And she is Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me cause I'll be coming home from sea
