Jamaica farewell

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
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 swaying 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
`Akey' rice, salt fish 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 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

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

The word zoo, is an abbreviated form of 'zoological garden'
many animal rights activists are not happy with animals being forced to live in unnatural conditions.
it is very important to know the pros and cons of zoos.
The different reasons behind keeping animals in captivity are associated with educational needs, research, recreation and conservation.
Let's try to understand the pros and cons of zoos through following arguments.
the animals are bound to suffer. Animals undergo tremendous stress as their natural movements are limited
For protecting the endangered wild animals, they need to be captured.
zoos are safe places for them
Also it is not necessary to exhibit the animals for recreational purpose, if the sole objective is to conserve them.
Many schools visit zoos to know more about endangered species and the ways to conserve them.
It is observed that visitors tend to abuse animals by throwing objects or shouting at them; such kind of careless behavior by visitors has a negative effect on animals.
