Johnny Horton - The Train With The Rhumba Beat Lyrics






Way down in Jamaica in the tropical heat
I met a gal, we took a trip on the train with the rhumba beat
Her eyes were bright and shiny, her lips were red and sweet
Her hair was black as the coal they used on the train with the rhumba beat

Carry me
Carry my wonderin' heart home

I feel her hot lips kiss me above this tropical heat
You can tell my baby I'm a-comin' home on the train with the rhumba beat
Soft thumbs are awaiting me, my life will be complete
You can tell my baby I'm a-comin' home on the train with the rhumba beat

Carry me
Carry my wonderin' heart home

I've traveled this world all over but none could ever beat
The pretty little gal I met and loved on the train with the rhumba beat
Her soft thumbs are awaiting me, my life will be complete
You can tell my baby I'm a-comin' home on the train with the rhumba beat

Carry me
Carry my wonderin' heart home
Carry my wonderin' heart home
