When I was a young 4 year old sometime around 1961.. my Mom had a 4 song Belafonte 45. Maybe it was a 33. The songs were.. "Day-o", "Will His Love be Like his Rum","Jamaica Farewell", and "Dolly Dawn".

Down the day where the nights are gay

And the 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 turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.

I heard this song in my childhood. thanks for posting this song

[vulcanblast1]
