Classic songs that make you think of Jamaica (not Reggae)

Of course Reggae is King.
Can't hear it without thinking of Negril, but.....

There are other songs, other music
that instantly carry me up there, into that rarified air,
and make me dream of Jamaica.

Who can guess this tune?

Sky, so vast as the sky,
with far away clouds, just wandering by......
Where do they go......?
Oh, I don't know, don't know.

Wind that speaks to the leaves,
telling stories that no one believes,
stories of love,
belong to you.......... and me!

Any other tunes (not Reggae) that bring you (in your mind) to Negril???

The banana boat song."Day-O"

It's actually a lament sung by a banana cutter.

Mi sweet gal Lliza.

Every time mi remember Liza, watah come a mi eye.

Come back Liza, comeback gal, watah com a mi eye.
Come back Liza, comeback gal, dry de cry from mi eye.
