Brothers Four - Jamaica Farewell - Текст песни

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 reach 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


Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls swaying to and fro

I must declare, my heart is there

Tho' I've been from Maine to Mexico


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 at the market you can hear

Ladies cry out while on their heads they bare

Ackey rice, salt fish are nice

And the rum is fine any time of 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


My heart is down, my head is turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

My heart is down, my head is turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

My heart is down, my head is turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston...
