JAMAICA FAREWELL



C F

Down the way where the nights are gay

Em Dm C

And the sun shines gaily on the mountain top

F

I took a trip on a sailing ship

Em Dm

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

Akee, 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
