Karaoke Track: Jamaica Farewell by Harry Belafonte (JVC)

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&#39;m sad to say. I&#39;m on my way.

Won&#39;t be back for many a day.

My heart is down
my head is turning around
I had to leave my little girl

in Kingston Town.

Sounds of laughter everywhere

and the dancing girls

swing to and fro.

But I&#39;m sad to say. I&#39;m on my way.

Won&#39;t be back for many a day.

My heart is down
my head is turning around.
I had to leave my little girl

in Kingston Town.

Down at the market you can hear
ladies cry out while on their heads
they bear aki rice. salt fish are nice

and the rum is fine any time of year.

But I&#39;m sad to say. I&#39;m on my way.

Won&#39;t be back for many a day.

My heart is down
my head is turning around.
I had to leave my little girl

in Kingston Town.

Down the way
where the nights are gay

and the sun shines daily

on the mountain top. I

I took a trip on a sailing ship

and when I reached Jamaica

1 made a stop.

But I&#39;m sad to say. I&#39;m on my way.

Won&#39;t be back for many a day.

My heart is down
my head is turning around.
I had to leave my little girl

in Kingston Town.

Sad to say. I&#39;m on my way.

Won&#39;t be back for many a day.

My heart is down
my head is turning around.
I had to leave my little girl

in Kingston Town.
