| Song: | Jamaica Farewell
6 6 6 6 Down the way where 6 -6 -7 7 the nights are gay -7 -6 6 6 -5 -5 And the sun shines daily -5 -5 5 -5 6 on the mountain top. 6 6 6 6 6 6 -6 -7 7 I took a trip on a sailing ship 7 -7 -6 6 6 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 4 And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop. 4 4 5 5 -4 -4 -5 Sad to say, I'm on my way -3 4 -4 -4 4 4 -4 5 Won't be back for many a day. 6 4 4 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 -4 -5 My heart is down, my head is turning around, -5 -5 -5 5 5 5 5 -4 -4 -4 4 4 I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out whil on their heads they bear Ahki rice, salt fish are nice, And the rum is good any time of year. But I'm sad to say....etc. Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing grils swaying to an fro. I must declare my heart is there Thought I've been from Maine to Mexico. But I'm sad to say....etc. |
