Biography:

Birds on a Wire is an enchanting voice and cello duo formed by French-American singer Rosemary Standley (with multinational France-based alt-folk band Moriarty) and young Brazilian singer, songwriter and cellist Dominique Pinto aka Dom la Nena. Initiated by Rosemary Standley in 2011 as “Rosemary’s Songbook”, the project evolved into the Birds on a Wire duo when the producer of Madamelune – an independent Paris-based stage and music production company – introduced her to Dom La Nena.

Birds On A Wire (Rosemary Standley & Dom La Nena) - Jamaica Farewell (Harry Belafonte cover)


A Bm
Down the way where the nights are gay
E A
The sun shines daily on the mountain top
F#m Bm
I took a trip on a sailing ship
E E7 A
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop


A Bm
I'm sad to say I'm on my way
E A
I won't be back for many a day
F#m Bm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
E E7 A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town


A Bm
Down the market you can hear
E A
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
F#m Bm
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
E E7 A
And the rum is fine any time of year


A Bm
I'm sad to say I'm on my way
E A
I won't be back for many a day
F#m Bm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
E E7 A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town


A Bm
Sounds of laughter everywhere
E A
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
F#m Bm
I must declare my heart is there
E E7 A
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico


A Bm
I'm sad to say I'm on my way
E A
Won't be back for many a day
F#m Bm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
E E7 A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town


A Bm
Down the way where the nights are gay
E A
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
F#m Bm
I took a trip on a sailing ship
E E7 A
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop


A Bm
I'm sad to say I'm on my way
E A
Won't be back for many a day
F#m Bm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
E E7 A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town


A Bm
Sad to say I'm on my way
E A
Won't be back for many a day
F#m Bm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
E E7 A
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
