Lyrics
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
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head 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 been from Maine to Mexico
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a days
My heart is down, my head 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
Ackee rice, salt fish 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
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
Sad to say I'm on my way
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
