Jamaica Farewell

歌詞

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 Down the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Akey rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine 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 turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Sounds of laughter everywhere and the dancing girls swaying to and fro I must declare my heart is there although 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 the bay 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 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
