I Left My Hat in Haiti Lyrics


I left my hat in Haiti
In some forgotten flat in Haiti
I couldn't tell you how I got there
I only know it was so hot thereShe took my hat politely
And wound her arms around me tightly
But I remember nothing clearly
Except the flame when she came near meHer eyes had the glow of surrender
And her touch it was tender
And with someone as fiery as that
You forget about your hatSo if you go to Haiti
There is a girl I know in Haiti
If you can find her you'll adore her
Just look around till you've found someone who has a blue-grey fedoraHer eyes had the glow of surrender
And her touch it was tender
And with someone as fiery as that
You forget about your hatSo if you go to Haiti
There is a girl I know in Haiti
If you can find her you'll adore her

Just look around till you've found someone who has a blue-grey fedora

Billy Eckstine (8 July 1914 – 8 March 1993), born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA as William Clarence Eckstein. He changed the spelling to Eckstine after a club owner said the original spelling was "too Jewish". Eckstine was an American jazz singer and bandleader who also played trumpet, valve trombone, and guitar. He also performed briefly as Billy X. Stine. His nickname was Mr. B. Although best known as a singer, his openness to new music made him a strong influence on modern jazz, particularly bebop, as he gave employment to many of the musicians who founded the style.
