JAMAICA FAREWELL<br><br><br>

Down the way where the nights are gay<br>
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top<br>
I took a trip on a sailin’ ship<br>
And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop<br><br>

But I’m sad to say I’m on my way<br>
I won’t be back for many a day<br>
My heart is down, my head is turning around<br>
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town<br><br>

Sounds of laughter everywhere<br>
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro<br>
I must declare, my heart is there<br>
Though I’ve been from Maine to Mexico<br><bR>

But I’m sad to say I’m on my way<br>
I won’t be back for many a day<br>
My heart is down, my head is turning around<br>
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town<bR><br>

Down at the market, you can hear<br>
Ladies cry out while I’m there, heads they bare<br>
Acri rice, all fish are nice<br>
And the air is fine any time of year<br><br>

But I’m sad to say I’m on my way<br>
I won’t be back for many a day<br>
My heart is down, my head is turning around<br>
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
