My love's a tall & handsome man, the best you'll see;

he's gone away to the plantation              to pick coffee.
C                                   Bm               Em                                                           Am                 C                 D
The recruiter says he won't come back & I need no longer bide.

But I'm waiting here until the day of the lorry ride.

My days are hard, my nights are long & I am so alone.

But I'll dream a dream that will never end      'til   he comes home.
