Jamaica Farewell Full Lyrics
[00:14.96] Down the way where the night are gay
[00:17.71] And the sun shines dearly on the mountain top
[00:22.29] I took a trip on a sailing ship
[00:24.83] And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[00:28.52] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[00:33.17] Won't be back for many a day
[00:36.12] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[00:39.43] I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
[00:45.21]
[00:58.04] Sounds of laughter everywhere
[01:00.93] And the dancing girls swing to and fro
[01:05.49] I must declare my love too is there
[01:08.09] Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
[01:11.69] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[01:16.26] Won't be back for many a days
[01:19.26] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[01:22.53] I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
[01:28.49]
[01:41.14] Down at the market you can hear
[01:43.94] Ladies crying out while on their heads they bear
[01:48.62] Ackee rice, salt fish on ice and
[01:51.47] The rum is fine any time of year
[01:54.68] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[01:59.10] Won't be back for many a day
[02:02.14] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[02:05.40] I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
[02:09.77] Sad to say I'm on my way
[02:13.56] Won't be back for many a day
[02:16.47] My heart is down, my heart is turning around
[02:19.77] I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
[02:23.43]
