lirik lagu harry belafonte - jamaica farewell
down the way
where the nights are gay
and the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
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 swing to and fro
i must declare my heart is there
though i’ve been from maine to mexico
(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
down at the market you can hear
ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
ackee-, rice, saltfish are nice
and the rum is fine any time o’ year
(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
down the way
where the nights are gay
and the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
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
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.
-ackee: national fruit of jamaica; ackee and saltfish is the national dish
