Lyrics
jamaica farewell
Down the way where the lights 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
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear;
Sake, rice, the fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of the year
***************
Sake - pronounced sah-ki
