[00:01.97] Harry Belafonte - Jamaica Farewell Lyrics
[00:11.28] Down the way where the nights are gay
[00:13.99]
[00:14.54] And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
[00:18.83]
[00:19.46] I took a trip on a sailing ship
[00:22.35] And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[00:26.54] But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
[00:31.37] Won't be back for many a day
[00:34.57]
[00:35.13] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[00:38.91] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
[00:43.79]
[00:45.99] Down at the market you can hear
[00:49.13] Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
[00:53.38]
[00:54.34] Akkisai sort fish are nice
[00:57.35] And the rum are fine any time a year
[01:01.67] But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
[01:05.36]
[01:06.25] Won't be back for many a day
[01:09.76]
[01:10.27] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[01:14.09] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
[01:18.10]
[01:21.28] Sounds of laughter everywhere
[01:23.90]
[01:24.59] And the dancing girl swing to and fro
[01:28.40]
[01:29.78] I must declare my heart is there
[01:33.10] Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
[01:37.43] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[01:41.00]
[01:41.87] Won't be back for many a day
[01:45.21]
[01:45.90] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[01:49.78] I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston Town
[01:53.92]
[01:57.31] Down the way where the nights are gay
[02:00.39] And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
[02:05.33] I took a trip on a sailing ship
[02:08.65] And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[02:12.62]
[02:13.37] But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
[02:17.07]
[02:17.75] Won't be back for many a day
[02:21.21]
[02:22.03] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[02:25.79] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
[02:29.86]
[02:31.19] Sad to say, I'm on my way
[02:33.94]
[02:35.01] Won't be back for many a day
[02:38.27]
[02:39.41] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[02:42.98] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
[02:45.56]
[02:46.58]
