Lyrics
In Jamaica, where (C)hearts are light,
where the (G)music has you dancing all the night,
a boy was walking (C)along the pier,
he sang a (G)little song that I still can hear.
Oh, so sad am I to (Am)say,
"Goodbye." (D7)I'll come back, no (G)more will I cry,
I hate to say, "Farewell, (Am)Jamaica" today,
because the (G)girl I love is (D7)here,
down (G)Kingston Way!
In Jamaica, where (C)rum comes from,
(G)ev'rybody dances, hear the banjo strum.
They sing calypso, we (C)all take part,
yet here I (G)heard a song from a broken heart.
Oh, so sad am I to (Am)say,
"Goodbye." (D7)I'll come back, no (G)more will I cry,
I hate to say, "Farewell, (Am)Jamaica" today,
because the (G)girl I love is (D7)here,
down (G)Kingston Way!
girl I love is (D7)here, down (G)Kingston Way!
