Eugenio Finardi - Jamaica Farewell lyrics

rate me

( 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 turnin' 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 thou 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 spinnin' 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 Aky rice and salt fish are nice and the Rum is fine anytime o' 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 turnin' around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
