"Jamaica Farewell" by Harry Belafonte

Down the way 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

(CHORUS)
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
Swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from
Maine to Mexico

(CHORUS)

Down at 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

(CHORUS)

Down the way 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

(CHORUS)

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
