Lyrics
0:11Down the way where the nights are gay
0:14And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
0:19I took a trip on a sailing ship
0:22And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
0:26But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
0:31Won't be back for many a day
0:35My heart is down my head is turning around
0:38I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
0:45Down at the market you can hear
0:48Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
0:54Akey rice salt fish are nice
0:57And the rum is fine any time of year
1:01But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
1:06Won't be back for many a day
1:10My heart is down my head is turning around
1:13I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
1:21Sounds of laughter everywhere
1:24And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
1:29I must declare my heart is there
1:32Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
1:37But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
1:41Won't be back for many a day
1:45My heart is down my head is turning around
1:49I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
1:57Down the way where the nights are gay
2:00And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
2:04I took a trip on a sailing ship
2:08And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
2:13But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
2:17Won't be back for many a day
2:21My heart is down my head is turning around
2:25I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
2:31Sad to say I'm on my way
2:34Won't be back for many a day
2:38My heart is down my head is turning around
2:42I 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 Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Akey rice salt fish 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 swaying 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 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
