Jamaica Farewell

Down the way where the nights are gayAnd the sun shines daily on the mountaintopI look a trip on a sailling shipAnd when I reached Jamaica I made a stopBut I'm sad to say I'm on my wayWon't be back for many a dayMy heart is down, my head is turning arroundI had to leave a little girl in Kingston townDown at the market you can hearLadies cry out while on their heads they bearAkee rice, salt fish are niceAnd the rum is fine any time of yearBut I'm sad to say I'm on my wayWon't be back for many a dayMy heart is downs, my head is turning aroundI had to leave a little girl in Kingston townSounds of laughter every whereAnd the dancing girls swaying to and froI must declare my heart is thereThoug I've been from Maine to MexicoBut I'm sad to say I'm on my wayWon't be back for many a dayMy heart is down, my head is turning aroundI had to leave a little girl in Kingston townDown the way where the nights are gayAnd the sun shines daily on the mountaintopI look a trip on a sailing shipAnd when I reachedJamaica I made a stopBut I'm said to say I'm on my wayWon't be back for many a dayMy heart is down, my head is turning aroundI had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
