Jamaica Farewell piano leadsheet with chords
In Jamaica, where hearts are light,
where the music has you dancing all the night,
a boy was walking along the pier,
he sang a little song that I still can hear.
Oh, so sad am I to say,
"Goodbye." I'll come back, no more will I cry,
I hate to say, "Farewell, Jamaica" today,
because the girl I love is here,
down Kingston Way!
In Jamaica, where rum comes from,
ev'rybody dances, hear the banjo strum.
They sing calypso, we all take part,
yet here I heard a song from a broken heart.
Oh, so sad am I to say,
"Goodbye." I'll come back, no more will I cry,
I hate to say, "Farewell, Jamaica" today,
because the girl I love is here,
down Kingston Way!
girl I love is here, down Kingston Way!
