Down the way Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily 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 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 Ackee, rice, saltfish are nice And the rum is fine 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
Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls swing to and fro 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 the way Where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily 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 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
