VERSE 1:

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

VERSE 2: Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls swaying to and fro

I must declare that my heart is there

Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

VERSE 3: Down at the market you can hear

Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Ackie rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine any time of the year

CHORUS:

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
