Jamaica Farewell Song Lyrics

Chuck Berry – Jamaica Farewell Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines brightly 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 miss all my friends in Kingston town

[Verse 2]
Down at the market you can hear
All the ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Akie rice, salt fish are nice
And the sun is fine any time of the year

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the children sway to and fro
I must declare that my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

[Chorus]
[x2]
