Jamaica Farewell - Nina Og Frederik

作曲：Aire/Burgess/Traditional

Down the way

Where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop

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 by the market you can hear

Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear

Ackee rice saltfish are nice

And the rum is fine any time 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 turning around

I had to leave a little girl in kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls swing to and fro

I must declare my heart is there

Though I've been from maine to mexico

And 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 way

Where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily

on the mountaintop

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

O leave a little girl in kingston town

Leave a little girl in kingston town

Leave a little girl in kingston town

Leave a little girl
