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 &quot;King of Calypso&quot; for popularizing the Caribbean musical style in the 1950s. Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing the &quot;Banana Boat Song&quot;, with its signature lyric &quot;Day-O&quot;.

Né le 1er mars 1927 à Harlem, quartier noir de New York, Harold George (dit Harry) Belafonte jr. passa sa prime jeunesse et sa scolarité en Jamaïque. L

Harry Belafonte (* 1. März 1927 in Harlem, New York; eigentlich Harold George Belafonte) ist ein US-amerikanischer Sänger, Schauspieler und Entertainer.  Belafonte wird als Sohn eines Matrosen aus Martinique und einer jamaikanischen Hilfsarbeiterin in New York geboren. Er wächst im New Yorker Schwarzenghetto auf und zieht 1935 mit seiner Mutter und seinen beiden älteren Brüdern in deren Heimatland Jamaika.

Harold George Belafonte, Jr. (1 de marzo de 1927, Nueva York, Estados Unidos) es un músico, actor y activista social de ascendencia jamaicana. Conocido como el &quot;Rey del Calypso&quot; por popularizar este estilo musical caribeño de la década de los 50. Su canción más conocida (que le llevó al primer puesto en las listas de éxitos en 1957) tal vez sea &quot;Day-O (Banana boat song&quot;), que forma parte de la banda sonora de Beetlejuice, de Tim Burton, junto con &quot;Shake señora&quot;.  

&quot;Jamaica Farewell&quot; is a famous calypso about the beauties of the West Indian Islands.  The lyrics for the song were written by Lord Burgess (Irving Burgie). Lord Burgess was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1926. His mother was from Barbados and his father was from Virginia. The song first appeared on Harry Belafonte's phenomenally successful album &quot;Calypso&quot;.  Though many, including Belafonte himself, have said that the song was popular in the West Indies since long before Burgess, it is believed that Burgess compiled and modified the song from many folk pieces to make a new song...

C                      F 
Down the way where the nights are gay
        G7                      C
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
C                  F
I took a trip on a sailing ship
           G7                C
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

Chorus:
        C              Dm
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
G7                C
Won't be back for many a day
C                           Dm
My heart is down my head is turning around
         G7                     C
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
C                  F
Down at the market you can hear
       G7                     C
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
C              F
Akee rice salt fish are nice
        G7              C
And the rum is fine any time of year

Chorus
C                  F
Sounds of laughter everywhere
        G7                    C
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
C                 F
I must declare my heart is there
            G7                 C
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

Chorus
C                      F
Down the way where the nights are gay
        G7                      C
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
C                  F
I took a trip on a sailing ship
           G7                C
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

Very Best Of Harry Belafonte

C             Em            Am           F       
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you
            G7
In worn out shoes
C               Em               Am         F
Silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants
                    G   F
He did the old soft shoe
             E7                Am  D7
He jumped so high he jumped so high
                        G  G7
Then he'd lightly touch down

  C            Em      Am         F 
I met him in a cell in New Orleans
               G7
I was down and out
   C               Em     Am         F
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
                  G     F
As he spoke right out
             C    E7                Am  D7
He talked of life he talked of life
                             G  G7
He laughed slapped his leg a step

   C               Em             Am            F           G7
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick, across the cell
   C                   Em                    Am            F
He grabbed his pants a better stance then he jumped so high
               G7
He clicked his heels
   F        C       E7            Am     D7
He let go a laugh oh he let go a laugh
                            G   G7    Am
Shook back his clothes all around

      G      Am

He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs,  throughout the South
   C                   Em                    Am          F           G7  F
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him,  traveled about
               E7             Am  D7
His dog up and died he up and died
                            G     G7
After twenty years he still grieves

   C                   Em              Am          F                G7
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks,  for drinks and tips
    C                  Em                 Am         F
But most o' the time I spend behind these county bars
                G
Hell I drinks a bit
   F         E7                       Am  D7
He shook his head and as he shook his head
                        G7    Am
I heard someone ask him please

      G      Am
Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles
      G
Mr. Bojangles

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G

             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

                                    G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C     G   C
Dancin' in our eyes.
C
She thinks all my jokes are corny
C
Convict movies make her horny
    F
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
C
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
G
She takes a lickin'
G
And keeps on tickin'
                        C   G   C
I'm never gonna let her go.
C
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey

He's a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
F
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
C
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
G
He's my baby I don't mean maybe
                    C   G   C
Never gonna let him go

              F
In spite of ourselves
                             C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
             G
Against all odds
                          C
Honey, we're the big door prize
             F
We're gonna spite our noses
                 C
Right off of our faces
                                    G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C     G   C
Dancin' in our eyes.
