Buffett, Jimmy - 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
But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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 have been from Maine to Mexico
Still I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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 at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackev rice, salt fish are nice
Oh the rum is fine anytime of year
Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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 mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop
Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Very 90's.
This song was written by Irving Burgie who also wrote 'Day-O'
and i do like harry belafonte
i love jimmy buffet but i think don williams sang it sweeter
is this the only Feeding Frenzy video online?
Clarendon Jamaica!!!!
Love this song and love what Jimmy did with it👍
I give this version a solid 3 out of 10. It should be marooned on an island.
I miss the 90's, cheers Jimmy!
bell'arrangiamento
so was this video from that tour or did you dub the track from the Feeding Frenzy album?
GREAT ARRRANGMENT SIR FANTASTIC YOU ARE PART OF JAMAICA THANKS
Don`t they count as latinas too??
Is Jimmy Buffett a fan of Full House? Because the beginning of the sound resembles the opening them for that show. I also believe that the cast of Full House were Parrot-Heads.
I think those girls who repeat "On my way" after Jimmy are Jamaicans.
So much nice latinas....:O
never been so shitfaced
Grande Jimmy!
DON WILLIAMS HAS A GREAT CUT ON THIS SONG. GIVE IT A TRY. YOU WILL LIKE IT FOR SURE
