Jamaica Farewell |
| 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 |
| Cos 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 girls sway to and fro |
| I must declare, my heart is there |
| 'Though I’ve been from Maine to Mexico |
| Cos 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 |
| Down at the market, you can hear |
| Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear |
| Aki rice, swordfish are nice |
| And the rum is fine any time of year |
| Cos 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 |
| 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 |
| Cos 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 |
