| Down the way where the nights are gay
|
| And the sun shines brightly on the mountaintop
|
| 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 miss all my friends in Kingston town
|
| Down at the market you can hear
|
| All the ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
|
| Akie rice, salt fish are nice
|
| And the sun is fine any time of the 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 miss all my friends in Kingston town
|
| Sounds of laughter everywhere
|
| And the children sway to and fro
|
| I must declare that 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 miss all my friends in Kingston town
|
| 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 miss all my friends in Kingston town
|
| 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 miss all my friends in Kingston town |
