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 her 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
Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls swaying to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I have 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 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 Ackev rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine anytime 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 turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town My heart is down my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town My heart is down my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
End
Jamaica Farewell The Brother Four
