1
Down the way where the nights are gay
2
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
3
I took a trip on a sailing ship
4
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
5
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
6
Won't be back for many a day
7
My heart is down, my head is turning around
8
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
9
Down the market you can hear
10
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
11
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
12
And the rum is fine any time of year
13
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
14
Won't be back for many a day
15
My heart is down, my head is turning around
16
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
17
Sounds of laughter everywhere
18
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
19
I must declare my heart is there
20
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
21
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
22
Won't be back for many a day
23
My heart is down, my head is turning around
24
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
25
Down the way where the nights are gay
26
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
27
I took a trip on a sailing ship
28
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
29
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
30
Won't be back for many a day
31
My heart is down, my head is turning around
32
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
33
Sad to say I'm on my way
34
Won't be back for many a day
35
My heart is down, my head is turning around
36
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
