Lyrics

[00:00.00] Jamaica Farewell
[00:08.92] The Brother Four
[00:14.32]
[00:18.50] Down the way where the nights are gay
[00:22.30] And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
[00:27.85] I took a trip on a sailing ship
[00:31.16] And when I reached Jamaica i made her stop
[00:35.51]
[00:35.89] But I\'m sad to say I\'m on my way
[00:40.57] Won\'t be back for many a day
[00:45.49] My heart is down my head is turning around
[00:49.87] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
[00:54.47]
[00:57.30] Sounds of laughter everywhere
[01:00.88] And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
[01:06.35] I must declare my heart is there
[01:09.91] Though I have been from Maine to Mexico
[01:14.71] But I\'m sad to say I\'m on my way
[01:19.30] Won\'t be back for many a day
[01:24.14] My heart is down my head is turning around
[01:28.27] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
[01:33.88]
[01:54.49] Down at the market you can hear
[01:57.90] Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
[02:03.46] Ackev rice, salt fish are nice
[02:07.03] And the rum is fine anytime of year
[02:11.09] But I\'m sad to say I\'m on my way
[02:15.61] Won\'t be back for many a day
[02:20.68] My heart is down my head is turning around
[02:24.60] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
[02:29.62] My heart is down my head is turning around
[02:33.55] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
[02:38.78] My heart is down my head is turning around
[02:42.65] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
[02:53.13]
[02:54.69] End
