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 to is there Tough 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 day 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 ____ 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
