Jamaica Farewell lyrics
Song information
Artist: Hank Snow Album: I've Been Everywhere
Lyrics
Jamaica farewell Down the way where the lights 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 Chorus: 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 Though I've been from maine to mexico
Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear; Sake, rice, the fish are nice And the rum is fine any time of the year ***************
Sake - pronounced sah-ki
