Biography:
Beresford Hammond (b.August 28,1955 Annotto Bay,St.Mary, Jamaica) has only really risen to become popular in the 'digital' age of Reggae, although his career stretches back to the 1970's. Considered by many to be one of Jamaica's finest contemporary vocalists, his best work has generally been captured on the 'Penthouse' and 'Xterminator' labels as well as his own 'Harmony House' imprint. The singer with his distictive 'Bourbon on the rocks' vocal style remains active today both recording and producing.

I'd like to tell you a story,

C F
After one dance on the floor,

C F
And I don't know what it is, that I've got,
C F
But she whispered it was so nice, so nice.
Chorus 1:
C Dm
But her man is sitting across the way,
C Dm
And he can hear the things I'd say.
C Dm
Now he watches from the corner of his eyes,
C F
So a move like this would be so unwise.
G F C C7
Ooh, ooh he's standing in my way,
F C C7 F
Standing in my way, hey, yeah, yeah.
Verse 2:
C F
You could see she was more than ready,

C F
Now I understand how he feels,
C F

C F
But I'd like to leave with this lady, soon.
Chorus 3:
C Dm
I didn't mean to be so unkind,
C Dm
I had move into the one, who was looking fine.
