Farewell

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 far-away town



 Down at the market you can hear

Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear

`Akey' rice, salt fish are nice

And the rum is fine any time of year



Sounds of laughter everywhere

 And the dancing girls sway to and from

I must declare my heart is there

Though I've been from Maine to Mexico









-The song is ended, but the melody lingers on -
