Jamaica Farewell

Jamaica Farewell, is a Jamaican-style folk song made by Harry Belafonte, that appeared in his album: Calypso. The lyrics of it were writen by Lord Burgess, and it talks about the beauties of the West Indian Islands. This song is only heard in Rabbids Go Home, where it plays in the background while the two Rabbids in the shopping cart, fly through the city with the help of the bed of the sick patient Barney. It can also be heard in the background of some levels.

Lyrics
Down the way

Where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop

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 turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls swing to and fro

I must declare my heart is there

Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

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 heads they bear

Ackee, rice, saltfish are nice

And the rum is fine any time of year

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 the way

Where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop

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 turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

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
