Title: Jamaica Farewell
Subtitle: Lord Burgess
Sounds of laughter everywhere,
And the dancing girls sway to and fro,
I must declare, my heart is there,
'Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.
DAown the way, where the nDights are gay,
And the sAun shines dE7aily on the mAountain top,
I took a trip on a sDailing ship,
And when I reAached JaE7maica, I made a sAtop.
C:Chorus:
But I'm sAad to say, I'm Don my way, WE7on't be back for mAany a day, My heart is down, my head is tDurning around, I had to lAeave a little gE7irl in Kingston tAown.C:Chorus.
Down at the market, you can hear, Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear, Aki rice, swordfish are nice, And the rum is fine any time of year.C:Chorus.
