Jamaica Farewell - Burgie

    Down the way where the nights are gay
    And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
    I took a trip on a sailing ship
    But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop

    Chorus:
    Now I'm sad to say
    I'm on my way (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

    Sounds of laughter everywhere
    And the dancing girls sway to and fro
    I must declare my heart is there
    Though I have been from Maine to Mexico

    Chorus:
    Still I'm sad to say
    I'm on my way (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

    "Yeah, Robert G."

    Down at the market you can hear
    Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
    Ackev rice, salt fish are nice
    Oh the rum is fine anytime of year

    Chorus:
    Now I'm sad to say
    I'm on my way (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 the way where the nights are gay
    And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
    I took a trip on a sailing ship
    But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop

    Chorus:
    Now I'm sad to say
    I'm on my way (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
    I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
    I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

    "On my way Harry. Holy cow. I don't know!"
