Jamaica Farewell Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

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 

But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop 

Now, I'm sad to say, I'm on my way 

I 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 sway to and fro 

I must declare my heart is there 

Though I have been from Maine to Mexico

Still, I'm sad to say, I'm on my way 

I 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 

Ackev rice, salt fish are nice 

Oh, the rum is fine anytime of year 

Now, I'm sad to say, I'm on my way 

I 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 the way where the nights are gay 

And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop 

I took a trip on the sailing ship 

But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town 

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
