Birds On A Wire (Rosemary Standley & Dom La Nena) - Jamaica Farewell (Harry Belafonte cover)
A Bm
Down the way where the nights are gay
E A
The sun shines daily on the mountain top
F#m Bm
I took a trip on a sailing ship
E E7 A
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
A Bm
I'm sad to say I'm on my way
E A
I won't be back for many a day
F#m Bm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
E E7 A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
A Bm
Down the market you can hear
E A
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
F#m Bm
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
E E7 A
And the rum is fine any time of year
A Bm
I'm sad to say I'm on my way
E A
I won't be back for many a day
F#m Bm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
E E7 A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
A Bm
Sounds of laughter everywhere
E A
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
F#m Bm
I must declare my heart is there
E E7 A
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
A Bm
I'm sad to say I'm on my way
E A
Won't be back for many a day
F#m Bm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
E E7 A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
A Bm
Down the way where the nights are gay
E A
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
F#m Bm
I took a trip on a sailing ship
E E7 A
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
A Bm
I'm sad to say I'm on my way
E A
Won't be back for many a day
F#m Bm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
E E7 A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
A Bm
Sad to say I'm on my way
E A
Won't be back for many a day
