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
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 girl
in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter
everywhere
And the dancing girls
swaying to and pro
I must declare
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 girl
in Kingston town
Down at the market
you can hear
Ladies cry out
while on their
head they bear
Ackie rice salt
fish is nice
And the rum is good
any time of 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 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
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 girl
in Kingston town
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
