Jamaica Farewell
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
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 my little boy in Kingston Town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swinging 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 wanna leave my little boy 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 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 my little boy 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
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
'Cause my heart is down, my head is turning around
I miss my little boy 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
'Cause I leave my little boy in Kingston Town
