Intro.....
..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
..Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls
swaying to and pro
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 at the market
You can hear ladies cry out
While on their heads they bear
Ackie, rice, saltfish on ice
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.
