Chet Atkins
Jamaica Farewell
Down the way where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stopBut I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a dayMy heart is down my head is turnin' around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston townSounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls swayin' to and froI must declare my heart is there Although I've been from Maine to MexicoBut I'm sad to sayDown at the market you can hear ladies Cry out while on their heads they bearAckey rice salt fish are niceAnd the sun is fine anytime of the yearBut I'm sad to say
