JAMAICA FAREWELL
(Snngið af Harry Belafonte)
Down the way when the nights are gay
and tlie 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 turnin’
around,
I had to leave a litle girl in Kingston town.
Sounds of laughter everywhere
and the dancing stvaying to and fro.
I must declare my heart is there
though I’ve been from Maine to Mexico.
But I’m sad to say — o. s. frv.
Down at the market you can hear
ladies only out while on their heads they
bear:
Aggi-rice — salt fish — one nice and
the rum is time any time a year.
But I’m sad to say — o. s. frv.
BANANA BOAT SONG
(SungiS af Harry Belafonte)
Day-o, da-o. Daylight come and me
wann’a go home.
Day is a day is a day is a day is a day
is a day-o.
Daylight come and me wann’a go home.
Work allt night and drink a rum,
daylight come and me wann’a go home,
Stop banana till the moming come,
daylight come and me wann’a go home,
