Chet Atkins "Cindy oh Cindy"

I love this tune! It's so catchy.
Lyrics? Sure:

I joined the Navy to see the world
But nowhere could I find
A girl as sweet as Cindy
The girl I left behind
I've searched the wide world over
Can't get her out of my mind

Cindy, oh Cindy
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
Cindy don't let me down
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
Write me a letter, soon
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
And I'll be homeward bound
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)

I see her face in every wave
Her lips kiss every breeze
Her loving arms reach out to me
Through calm and stormy sea
At night I face the lonely day
Caressed by memories

Cindy, oh Cindy
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
Cindy don't let me down
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
Write me a letter, soon
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
And I'll be homeward bound
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)

I know my Cindy's waiting for me
As I walk the decks alone
Her loving arms reach out to me
Soon I'll be heading home
Then my sailing days will be over
No more will I roam

Cindy, oh Cindy
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
Cindy don't let me down
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
Write me a letter, soon
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
And I'll be homeward bound
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)

(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)
(C-Cindy, C-Cindy)

Anyway, Chet makes it sound great! (from Chet's "Solo Flights" album)

You're welcome! One of the few Chet tunes I learned to actually play!

Glad to find this one. I like to listen to Chet play. Looks like you have quite a collection of songs and pictures. Nice videos and music. Thanks for posting and sharing your treasures.

Thanx BRG1942 I`ve always loved Chet. He had an instruction DVD out in his later years and I learned a lovely tune from it called " Petite Waltz" written by the guy who wrote the Harry Lime Theme. Hope to play it at an open mike next week. lol

@TheBobnalyd There were two hit versions: Eddie Fisher and Vince Martin (with the Tarriers).

I remember this as a kid

" Cindy Oh Cindy, Cindy dont let me down

Write me a letter soon and Ill be homeward bound"

Forget who sang it.
