Jamaica Farewell

歌詞

(Writer Irving Bergie aka Lord Burgess) 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 spinning 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 spinning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. --- Instrumental --- Down at the market, you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear 'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is good 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 spinning 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 spinning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town...
