Jamaica Farewell Lyrics - Into White - Carly Simon

Down the way where the nights 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 

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 swinging to and fro 

I must declare that my heart is there 

Though 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, my head is turning around 

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town 

Down at the market you can hear 

Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear 

Ackie rice and salt fish is nice 

And the rum is good any time of year

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 

Leave a little girl in Kingston town 

Leave a little girl in Kingston town
