In honor of Jimmy Buffett - Jamaica Farewell

You might have heard that Jimmy Buffett took a tumble off a concert stage this week and damn near killed himself.  The good word is that he's OK and for that, we're thankful.  Here Jimmy Buffett is singing Harry Belafonte's original song, "Jamaica Farewell."


 BONUS 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

CHORUS:
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 swaying to and fro
I must declare that my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

CHORUS:
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 at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their head they bear
Ackie rice and salt fish is nice
And the rum is good any time of year

CHORUS:
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

GET WELL SOON JIMMY BUFFETT!!!
