| [00:19.24] |
Down the day where the nights are gay |
| [00:22.33] |
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top |
| [00:28.24] |
I took a trip on a sailing ship |
| [00:31.12] |
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop |
| [00:35.81] |
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way |
| [00:40.93] |
Won't be back for many a day |
| [00:44.90] |
My heart is down, my head is turning around |
| [00:49.10] |
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town |
| [00:54.40] |
|
| [00:57.42] |
Sounds of laughter everywhere |
| [01:00.42] |
And the dancing girls sway to and fro |
| [01:05.97] |
I must declare my heart is there |
| [01:09.52] |
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico |
| [01:14.10] |
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way |
| [01:19.15] |
Won't be back for many a day |
| [01:23.21] |
My heart is down, my head is turning around |
| [01:27.71] |
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town |
| [01:53.95][01:32.27] |
|
| [01:54.34] |
Down the market you can hear |
| [01:57.32] |
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear |
| [02:02.18] |
`Akey' rice, salt fish are nice |
| [02:05.77] |
And the rum is fine any time of year |
| [02:10.42] |
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way |
| [02:15.07] |
Won't be back for many a day |
| [02:19.36] |
My heart is down, my head is turning around |
| [02:23.86] |
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town |
| [02:46.98][02:28.18] |
|
| [02:29.62][02:37.91] |
My heart is down, my head is turning around |
| [02:42.10][02:32.75] |
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town |
