Don Williams - Jamaica Farewell Lyrics
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 stop.
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 spinning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
Sounds of laughter, everywhere
And the dancing girls swing to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is spinning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
[Instrumental]
Down at the market, you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is good any time of year
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 spinning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
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 spinning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town...

Yip Adam from edenburgh jan2020
thank you my friend mister williams !!!!!
Beautiful ...beautiful ....හරිම ලස්සනයි . කිසිදා නොමියෙන් ගීතයක් ....
I wonder those who dislike this song,am still listening on boxing day 26-2019,
I like this song....
A true gentleman. 💓
Niels B. Larsen I don’t recall if he visited Australia. 🇦🇺 I’ve always loved his music though. 💓.
Happy New Year. 🎉 01.01.2020
@Sunni13 Also a belated Happy New Year to you. I lived in Mt. Isa, Qld. for 3 years 49 years ago - and I'm visiting Qld. in August and September this year. :-)
Niels B. Larsen, I love so many of Don Williams songs as he puts so much feeling into the words. My favourite (among many of his) is “ If You Needed Me” Enjoy your travels. 🙋♀️
@Sunni13 I sure will. I've often thought of going back for a spell, and now's the time. :-)
I, too, am fond of "If You Needed Me". A duet with Emmylou Harris - another one of my favorites.
Niels B. Larsen..G’day again Niels, Qld is the best (of course) although, not been to Mt Isa. August & September are good months to travel here, as it’s not so hot. Lots of rain at the moment which helps to cool things down. And, yes, Emmylou has a beautiful voice. She & Don go very well together. Is the travelling on your bucket list? ;)
Did not know that someone other than Belafonte recorded this song. My sisters in I used to dance and sing to Harry’s Carnegie Hall record a lot back in the 60’s. Don did a very good job.
Beautiful and very immortal song of the 50 s
Qué voz tan sexi wuau .
Farewell Don Williams , its sad to say that you are gone forever
Best version

Rest high on the moutains don..one of the greatest country music artist of your time
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 stop
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
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 stop
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Amanda. I've heard all inward
Lord knows I've tried
............................ LOVE YOU DON. Rest in peace!
Always my best friend forever, like to listen to your great music...

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 stop
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
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 stop
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
A nice song indeed!
