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