And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
But when i reached jamaica i made her stop
-
Now i'm sad to say
I'm on my way
I 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
-
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though i have been from maine to mexico
-
Now i'm sad to say
I'm on my way
I 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
-
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackev rice, salt fish are nice
Oh the rum is fine anytime of year
-
Now i'm sad to say
I'm on my way
I 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

Down the way where the nights are gay

Now i'm sad to say
I'm on my way
I 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
I had to leave a little girl in kingston town
I had to leave a little girl in kingston town
