Jamaica Farewell Lyrics - Don Williams

(Writer Irving Bergie aka Lord Burgess) 

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 spinning around 

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.

Sounds of laughter, everywhere 

And the dancing girls 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 spinning 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 

'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice 

And the rum is good any time of 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 spinning around 

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
