Jamaica Farewell - Remastered
Lyrics
Down the way where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop 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 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 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 Ackee, rice, saltfish are nice And the rum is 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 ♪ Down the way, where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop 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 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
