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
