Jamaica Farewell

Down the way where the nights are gay And the sun shines brightly on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop Well 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 turning around I had to leave all my friends in Kingston town Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancers swaying to and fro I must declare that my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin Well 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 turning around I had to leave all my friends in Kingston town Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their head they bear Ackie rice, salt fish is nice And the rum is fine every time of year Well 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 turning around I had to leave all my friends in Kingston town Well 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 turning around I had to leave all my friends in Kingston town
