Jamaica Farewell Don Williams
Performed by Don Williams on his "True Love" album
JAMAICA FAREWELL
[C]Down the way where the [F]nights are gay,
And the sun [G]shines daily on the [C]mountaintop.
I took a trip on a [F]sailing ship,
But when I [G]reached Jamaica I [C]made a stop.
Chorus:
But I'm sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way,
[G7]Won't be back for [C]many a day.
My heart is down, my head is [Dm]spinning around;
I had to [G7]leave a little girl in [C]Kingston town.
Chorus
Sounds of laughter everywhere,
And the dancing girls swirl to and fro.
I must declare my heart is there,
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.
Chorus
Down at the market you can hear,
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear,
Akkay rice, salt fish are nice,
And the rum is good any time of year.
Chorus x2
