Brian Hyland - Country Meets Folk

Jamaica 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 they reached Jamaica they made a stop

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
I 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 came from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
I 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

Down is the market you can hear ladies cry out
While on their heads they bear
Ackie rice swordfish are nice
And the rum is fine anytime of year

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
I 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

Sad to say I'm on my way
I won't be back for many a day
My heart is down my head is turning around
I had to leave little girl in Kingston town.
