JAMAICA FAREWELL

WRITER IRVING BERGIE aka LORD BURGESS

Down the bay 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 the market you can hear Ladies
cry out while on their heads they bear `Akey'
rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine any
time of year Sounds of laughter everywhere And
the dancing girls sway to and fro I must declare
my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to
Mexico
