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
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
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 away time in Venezuela
To pass away time in Venezuela

Yes, you are now rocking,
you are now rocking,
you are now rocking
with the best
