Harry Belafonte Angelina Lyrics

Angelina Lyrics

Yes it's 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
