Don Williams - Jamaica Farewell Lyrics
(Writer Irving Bergie aka Lord Burgess)Down the way, where the nights are gayAnd the sun shines daily on the mountain topI took a trip on a sailing shipAnd when I reached JamaicaI made a stop.But I'm, sad to say I'm on my wayWon't be back for many a dayMy heart is down, my head is spinning aroundI had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.Sounds of laughter, everywhereAnd the dancing girls swing to and froI must declare my heart is thereThough I've been from Maine to Mexico.But I'm, sad to say I'm on my wayWon't be back for many a dayMy heart is down, my head is spinning aroundI had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.--- Instrumental ---Down at the market, you can hearLadies cry out while on their heads they bear`Akey' rice, salt fish are niceAnd the rum is good any time of yearBut I'm sad to say I'm on my wayWon't be back for many a dayMy heart is down, my head is spinning aroundI had to leave a little girl in Kingston townBut I'm sad to say I'm on my wayWon't be back for many a dayMy heart is down, my head is spinning aroundI had to leave a little girl in Kingston town...
