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 |
