►Jamaica Farewell traditional (36 words)
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 boy in Kingston town
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 boy in Kingston town
►Moon River 1961, from Breakfast at Tiffany's, by Mancini and Mercer. Won Academy Award (47 words)
Moon river
Wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style
Some day
Old dream maker
You heart breaker
Wherever you're goin'
I'm goin' your way
(2x)
Two drifters
Off to see the world
There's such a lot of world
To see
We're after the same
Rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River
and me
Moon river
Wider than a mile
I'm crossin' you in style
Some day
Old dream maker
You heart breaker
Wherever you're goin'
I'm goin' your way
(2x)
Two drifters
Off to see the world
There's such a lot of world
To see
We're after the same
Rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River
