| Down the way, where the nights are gay
|
| And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
|
| I took a trip on a sailing ship
|
| And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop
|
| Cos 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 girl in Kingston town
|
| Sounds of laughter everywhere
|
| And the dancing girls sway to and fro
|
| I must declare, my heart is there
|
| 'Though I’ve been from Maine to Mexico
|
| Cos 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 girl in Kingston town
|
| Down at the market, you can hear
|
| Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
|
| Aki rice, swordfish are nice
|
| And the rum is fine any time of year
|
| Cos 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 girl in Kingston town
|
| Down the way, where the nights are gay
|
| And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
|
| I took a trip on a sailing ship
|
| And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop
|
| Cos 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 girl in Kingston town |
