Almost Jamaica
Bellamy Brothers 1998
  (Hi Hat 5374)   Jerry Gilbreath
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Sides face, grand square
* She was born in Dakota
* Where she froze to death each winter
* But she dreamed about the islands
* By the fire burning splendor

Allemande left and weave
Almost paradise
Swing and promenade
It was almost Jamaica
It was almost real nice


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* So she moved down on the border
* With the sunshine but no seaweed
* Though she could not drink the water
* Some of the streets were lined with palm trees


* Electric fan on the table
* Show is her waterfall
* She may never have Jamaica
* But in her mind she has it all


FIGURE

Heads square thru go four now
With the corner dosado
Swing thru and then boy run
Bend the line do the right & left thru
Flutter wheel straight across now
Slide thru and corner swing, promenade
It was almost Jamaica
Almost real nice


TAG

It was almost Jamaica, almost paradise
