Down the way where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop I look a trip on a sailling 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 arround 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 Akee 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 downs my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Sounds of laughter every where And the dancing girls swaying to and fro I must declare my heart is there Thoug 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 look a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop But I'm said 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
