Angelina Lyrics

Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me cause Ill be coming home from sea

Yes its so long since Ive been home
Seems like theres no place to roam
Well Ive sailed around the Horn
Ive been from San Jose up to Baffin Bay
And Ive rode out many a storm

Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me cause Ill be coming home from sea


Well Ive heard the bawdy tunes
Ive 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 Ill be coming home from sea


Now Ive courted many a girl
Ive been in ports all around the world
But my rambling days are done
Ive been from Curacao up to Tokyo
And Ive found theres only one

And she is Angelina, Angelina, please bring down your concertina
And play a welcome for me cause Ill be coming home from sea

Harold George Belafonte, Jr. (born March 1, 1927 in New York, New York, United States) is an African-American musician, actor and social activist of Jamaican ancestry. One of the most successful Jamaican musicians in history, he was dubbed the "King of Calypso" for popularizing the Caribbean musical style in the 1950s. Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing the "Banana Boat Song", with its signature lyric "Day-O". Throughout his career, he has been an advocate for civil rights and humanitarian causes. In recent years (as of 2006), he has been a vocal critic of the policies of the Bush Administration.
