Kingston Town |
| [00:05.76] |
Harry Belafonte |
| [00:07.61] |
|
| [00:11.02] |
Down the way, where the nights are gay, |
| [00:14.06] |
and the sun shines daily on the mountain top, |
| [00:19.14] |
I took a trip on a sailing ship, |
| [00:22.07] |
and when I reach Jamaica I made a stop. |
| [00:25.71] |
|
| [00:26.58] |
But I'm sad to say, |
| [00:28.78] |
I'm on my way, |
| [00:31.30] |
won't be back for many a day. |
| [00:34.90] |
My heart is down, |
| [00:36.20] |
my head is turning around, |
| [00:38.59] |
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town. |
| [00:43.32] |
|
| [00:45.75] |
Down the market you can hear |
| [00:49.04] |
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear |
| [00:54.65] |
`Akey' rice, salt fish are nice |
| [01:01.11] |
And the rum is fine any time of year |
| [01:01.33] |
But I'm sad to say, |
| [01:04.03] |
I'm on my way, |
| [01:08.24] |
won't be back for many a day. |
| [01:10.41] |
My heart is down, |
| [01:11.71] |
my head is turning around, |
| [01:14.40] |
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town. |
| [01:20.92] |
Sounds of laughter everywhere |
| [01:25.07] |
And the dancing girls sway to and fro |
| [01:29.18] |
I must declare my heart is there |
| [01:32.86] |
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico |
| [01:36.90] |
But I'm sad to say, |
| [01:40.15] |
I'm on my way, |
| [01:42.02] |
won't be back for many a day. |
| [01:45.64] |
My heart is down, |
| [01:47.03] |
my head is turning around, |
| [01:49.07] |
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town. |
| [01:57.20] |
Down the way, where the nights are gay, |
| [01:59.80] |
and the sun shines daily on the mountain top, |
| [02:04.28] |
I took a trip on a sailing ship, |
| [02:07.74] |
and when I reach Jamaica I made a stop. |
| [02:12.24] |
But I'm sad to say, |
| [02:15.48] |
I'm on my way, |
| [02:17.34] |
won't be back for many a day. |
| [02:21.01] |
My heart is down, |
| [02:22.63] |
my head is turning around, |
| [02:25.49] |
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town. |
| [02:30.44] |
Sad to say, |
| [02:31.52] |
I'm on my way, |
| [02:34.69] |
won't be back for many a day. |
| [02:37.97] |
My heart is down, |
| [02:39.66] |
my head is turning around, |
| [02:42.16] |
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town. |
