Jamaica Farewell

[00:07.21]Album:The Brothers Four Star Box

Down the day where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountain top

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

Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls sway 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

[01:32.27]

Down the market you can hear

Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear

`Akey' rice, salt fish are nice

And the rum is fine any time of 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

[02:28.18]

[02:37.91]My heart is down, my head is turning around

[02:32.75]I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
