Harry Belafonte - Jamaica Farewell Lyrics 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 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
Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Akkisai sort fish are nice And the rum are fine any time a 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
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girl swing 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've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston Town
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
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
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
