1
Down the way where the nights are gay
2
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
3
I took a trip on a sailing ship
4
But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop
5
Chorus:
6
Now I'm sad to say
7
I'm on my way (on my way)
8
I won't be back for many a day
9
My heart is down
10
My head is turning around
11
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
12
Sounds of laughter everywhere
13
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
14
I must declare my heart is there
15
Though I have been from Maine to Mexico
16
Chorus:
17
Still I'm sad to say
18
I'm on my way (on my way)
19
I won't be back for many a day
20
My heart is down
21
My head is turning around
22
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
23
"Yeah, Robert G."
24
Down at the market you can hear
25
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
26
Ackev rice, salt fish are nice
27
Oh the rum is fine anytime of year
28
Chorus:
29
Now I'm sad to say
30
I'm on my way (on my way)
31
I won't be back for many a day
32
My heart is down
33
My head is turning around
34
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
35
Down the way where the nights are gay
36
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
37
I took a trip on a sailing ship
38
But when I reached Jamaica I made her stop
39
Chorus:
40
Now I'm sad to say
41
I'm on my way (on my way)
42
I won't be back for many a day
43
My heart is down
44
My head is turning around
45
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
46
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
47
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
48
"On my way Harry. Holy cow. I don't know!"
