Jamaica Farewell (Live in Bielefeld / 1969) - Roy Black

Written by：Traditional/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 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

But I'm sad to say on my way

I 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

'Akey' rice salt fish are nice

And the rum is fine any time 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

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 kingston town
