Jamaican Farewell


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 that my heart is there,
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.
(Repeat chorus)
