Jamaica Farewell
Harry Belafonte 1957
  (Mountain 133)   Bob Wilcox
 
two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
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
But when I reached Jamaica

Allemande left and weave the ring
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Swing your girl and promenade that way
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 8, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru four hands you go
Dosado and make a wave you know
Ladies trade and then swing thru
Boys run and couples circulate
Bend the line and the slide thru
Swing your corner, promenade you do
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I have been from Maine

Allemande left and weave the ring
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Swing your girl and promenade that way
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
