Jamaica Farewell - Harry Belafonte

 G                      C         
Down the way where the nights are gay 
         D                       G
and the sun shines daily on the mountain top.
   G                C                        
I took a trip on a sailing ship, 
            D                  G
but when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop.

                               C           D                 G
        But I'm sad to say I'm on my way, won't be back for many a day,
                                   C             
        my heart is down, head is turning around. 
                     D                      G
        I've got to leave a little girl in Kingston town.

Down in the market you can hear 
women cry out while on their heads they bear
akky rice and fish on ice 
and the rum is fine any time of the year.

        But I'm sad to say I'm on my way, won't be back for many a day, 
        my heart is down, head is turning around. 
        I've got to leave a little girl in Kingston town.


Sounds of Iaughter everywhere 
and the dancing girls sway to and fro.
I must declare, my heart is there, 
although 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, head is turning around. 
        I've got to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
