|
Down the way where the night are gay |
|
And the sun shines dearly 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 |
|
I won't be back for many a day |
|
My heart is down, my heart is turning around |
|
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town |
|
Sounds of laughter everywhere |
|
And the dancing girls swing to and fro |
|
I must declare my love too is there |
|
Though I've from Maine to Mexico |
|
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way |
|
I won't be back for many a days |
|
My heart is down, my heart is turning around |
|
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town |
|
Down at the market you can hear |
|
Ladies crying out while on their heads they bear |
|
[Unverified] salt fish on ice and |
|
The rum is fine any time of year |
|
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way |
|
I won't be back for many a day |
|
My heart is down, my heart is turning around |
|
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town |
|
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way |
|
I won't be back for many a day |
|
My heart is down, my heart is turning around |
|
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town |
