Burl Ives - Venezuela

I met her in Venezuela
With a basket on her head
And if she loved others she didn’t say
But I knew she do, to pass away the time in Venezuela
Pass away the time in Venezuela

I gave her a sash of blue
A beautiful sash of blue
Because I knew that she could do with all the tricks, I knew she knew
To pass away the time in Venezuela

And when the wind was out to sea, the wind was out to sea
And she was taking leave of me
I said sheer up there’ll always be
Sailors on shore on leave in Venezuela

Her linger was changed but the thought of her beautiful smile
The thought of her beautiful smile
Will haunt me and taunt me for many a mile
She was my gal and she did the wale
To pass a time in Venezuela
Burl Ives - Venezuela      I met her in Venezuela   With a basket on her head   And if she loved others she didn’t say   But I knew she do, to pass away the time in Venezuela   Pass away the time in Venezuela      I gave her a sash of blue   A beautiful sash of blue   Because I knew that she could do with all the tricks, I knew she knew   To pass away the time in Venezuela      And when the wind was out to sea, the wind was out to sea   And she was taking leave of me    I said sheer up there’ll always be   Sailors on shore on leave in Venezuela      Her linger was changed but the thought of her beautiful smile   The thought of her beautiful smile   Will haunt me and taunt me for many a mile   She was my gal and she did the wale    To pass a time in Venezuela
