Haiti Cherie Lyrics

Haiti Cherie says Haiti is my beloved land

Oh I never knew that I have to leave you to understand

Just how much I miss the gallant

Citadel Where days long ago brave men served this country well

Where sun is bright or evening with soft moonlight

Shading tree Creole maiden for company

A gentle breeze a warm caress if you please

Work laughter and play yes we'll always be this way

Haiti Cherie now I've returned to your soil so dear

Let me hear again the things that give music to my ear

The lone shepherd's horn that welcomes the rising morn

When roads overflow as crowds to Iron market go

Where sun is bright or evening with soft moonlight

Shading tree Creole maiden for company

A gentle breeze a warm caress if you please

 

Work laughter and play yes we'll always be this way
