| Have you ever seen a rainbow
|
| Or a garden blooming bright
|
| Heard the shuffle of a thousand feet
|
| And drums from morning 'til night?
|
| Come we go down, come we go down
|
| Come we go down to Kingston market
|
| Come we go down, come we go down
|
| Down to Kingston market
|
| Get your tamarind and sour sop,
|
| Mangoes and casaba,
|
| Bread fruit okra pigeon peas,
|
| Curry goat and guava
|
| Come we go down, come we go down
|
| Come we go down to Kingston market
|
| Come we go down, come we go down
|
| Down to Kingston market
|
| Do you know a brown skin maiden
|
| With sunshine in her eyes?
|
| Heard the swallow and the humming bird
|
| Sing happy as she goes by?
|
| Come we go down, come we go down
|
| Come we go down to Kingston market
|
| Come we go down, come we go down
|
| Down to Kingston market
|
| Have you seen the ghost of Morgan
|
| Or heard a tale you hadn’t ought to?
|
| Have you welcomed the coming dawn
|
| With a rum an' cocoanut water
|
| Come we go down, come we go down
|
| Come we go down to Kingston market
|
| Come we go down, come we go down
|
| Down to Kingston market |
