Jamaica Farewell

  
   
  
 C                     F
1.Down away where the nights are gay
         G                       C
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
C                   F
I took a trip on a sailing ship
            G7                C
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop


Chorus...
C                       Dm7
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
G                  C
Won't be back for many a day
       C                         Dm
II:My heart is down, my head is turning around
          G                          C
I had to leave all of my friends in Kingston town:II


2.Down at the market you can hear
Ladies sing out while on their heads they bear
Akie rice, salt fish are nice
And the fruit is fine any time of year

Chorus:
But I'm sad to say...


3.Sounds of laughter everywhere 
and the children sway to and fro
I must declare that my heart is there
although from the Yukon to Mexico

Chorus:
And I'm sad to say...
...I'm going to miss all of my friends in Kingston town.
