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 turning around
- I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
- Sounds of laughter everywhere
- And the dancing girl 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 turning around
- I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston Town
- Down at the market you can hear
- Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
- Ackee Rice Salt fish are nice
- And the rum are fine any time a 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 turning 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 turning around
- I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
- Sad to say I'm on my way
- Won't be back for many a day
