Venezuela (Live At The Royal Festival Hall, London / June 16, 1954)(Live At The Royal Festival Hall, London / June 16, 1954) - Burl Ives

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

To pass away the time in Venezuela

To pass away the time in Venezuela

I bought 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

To pass away the time in Venezuela

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 in Venezuela

Sailors on shore in Venezuela

Her linger was stanght but the thought of her smile

The thought of her beautiful smile

Will haunt me and taunt me for many a mile

For she was my gal and she did the wale

To pass away the time in Venezuela

To pass away the time in Venezuela
