Roy Black - Jamaica farewell

^DDown the way where the ^Gnights are gay And the sun ^Ashines daily on the ^Dmountain top I took a trip on a ^Gsailing ship And when I ^Areach Jamaica I ^Dmade a stop But I'm sad to say, I'm ^Gon my way ^AI won't be back for ^Dmany a day. My heart is down, my head is ^Gturning around I had to ^Aleave a little girl in ^DKingston town.

^DSounds of laughter ^Geverywhere And the ^Adancing girls swaying^D to and fro I must declare, my ^Gheart is there Tho' I've ^Abeen from Maine to ^DMexico But I'm sad to say, I'm ^Gon my way ^AI won't be back for ^Dmany a day. My heart is down, my head is ^Gturning around I had to ^Aleave a little girl in ^DKingston town.

^DDown at the market ^Gyou can hear Ladies ^Acry out while on their^D heads they bear Ackey rice, ^Gsalt fish are nice And the ^Arum is fine any ^Etime of year But I'm sad to say, I'm ^Gon my way ^AI won't be back for ^Dmany a day. My heart is down, my head is ^Gturning around I had to ^Aleave a little ^Ggirl in ^DKingston town. But I'm sad to say, I'm ^Gon my way ^AI won't be back for ^Dmany a day. My heart is down, my head is ^Gturning around I had to ^Aleave a little girl in ^DKingston town.
