Jamaica Farewell

歌詞

Down the way Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop But 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 a little girl in Kingston town La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Ackee, rice, salt, fish are nice And the rum is fine any time o' year But 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 a little girl in Kingston town La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la Sounds of laughter everywhere As the dancing girls dance to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico But 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 a little girl in Kingston town La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la La La la la la la la la La la la la la la La La la la la la la la La la la la la la
