Rita Connolly - Venezuela lyrics

I met her in Venezuela With a basket on her head And if she loved others Well she didn't say But I knew she'd do to pa** away To pa** away the time in Venezuela To pa** away the time in Venezuela I bought her a silken sash of blue A beautiful sash of blue Because I knew that she would do With all the tricks I knew she knew To pa** away the time in Venezuela To pa** away the time in Venezuela Her lingo was strange But the thought of her beautiful smile The thought of her beautiful smile Will haunt me and taunt me For many's the mile For she was my girl and she did the while To pa** away the time in Venezuela To pa** away the time in Venezuela The wind was out to sea, out to sea The wind was out to sea And she was taking leave of me I said cheer up, there'll always be There'll always be sailors ashore in Venezuela There'll always be sailors ashore in Venezuela
