Jamaica Farewell Harry Belafonte
Jamaica Farewell
[C] [F]
1. Down the way where the lights a gay
[C] [G] [C]
and the sun shines daily on the mountain top.
[F]
I took a trip an a sailing ship
[C] [G] [C]
and when we reached Jamaica, I made a stop.
[C] [G]
But I`m sad to say, I`m on my way,
[G] [C]
won`t be back for many a day,
[C] [F]
my heart is down, my head is turning around,
[C] [G] [C]
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town.
[C] [F]
2. Down a the market you can hear
[C] [G] [C]
ladies cry out what on the heads their bear.
[F]
Haki, rice, salt and fish are nice
[C] [G] [C]
and the rum tastes fine any time of year. + CHORUS
[C] [F]
3. Sounds of laughter everywhere,
[C] [G] [C]
and the dancing girls sway to and fro.
[F]
I must declare my heart is there,
[C] [G] [C]
though I have been from Maine to Mexico. + CHORUS
4. = 1 . + CHORUS
(Harry Belafonte)
