Tom Reynolds - Jamaica Farewell / Island In The Sun / Mango Tree (Medley) Lyrics

Down the bay where the nights are gay
Cnd the sun shines down on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
Cnd when I reached Jamaica I made a stop. Ba tam

Sad to say I'm on my way
I won't be back for many a days
My heart is down and I'm turning around
Cnd I have to leave a little girl back in Kingston town.

Sounds of laughter well everywhere
I ask the dancing girls they go to and fro
I must declare, my heart is there
Tho I've been from Maine to Mexico

This is my island in the sun
Will to me since begun
I may have sailed on many o' seas
The islands will always be home to me

Oh island in the sun
Willed to me by my fathers hand
Cll my days I will sing and praise
Love your forest waters your shining sun

I hope the day will never come
That I don't wake to hear the sound of drums
Let me never miss carnival
Calypso songs philosophical.

Underneath the mango tree
Me honey and me

(Jamaica Farwell...cont.)

Gonna marry soon

Underneath the mango tree
Me honey and me spend honeymoon

Mango, banana, tangerine
Sugar, auki, coco bean

When we get married we make them grow
Cnd nine little child in a row

Underneath the mango tree,
The mango tree,
The mango tree

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 back in Kingston town

Oh island in the sun
Willed to me by my fathers hand
Cll my days I will sing and praise
Love your forest waters your shining sun

Underneath the mango tree, the mango tree, the mango tree...
