Lyrics

[00:45.080] Down the bay where the nights are gay
[00:48.900] And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
[00:51.930] I took a trip on a sailing ship
[00:56.720] And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[01:01.460] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[01:05.160] Won't be back for many a day
[01:11.200] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[01:14.150] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[01:18.460] I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[01:25.160] Won't be back for many a day
[01:28.200] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[01:32.150] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[01:38.610] Down the market you can hear
[01:45.090] Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
[01:49.510] `Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
[01:52.660] And the rum is fine any time of year
[01:57.050] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[02:07.220] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[02:10.230] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[02:17.050] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[02:23.160] Won't be back for many a day
[02:25.220] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[02:29.230] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[02:37.230] Sounds of laughter everywhere
[02:41.230] And the dancing girls sway to and fro
[02:46.230] I must declare my heart is there
[02:50.230] Though i have been from maine to mexico
[02:57.230] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[03:01.230] Won't be back for many a day
[03:05.230] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[03:10.230] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[03:15.230] sad to say I'm on my way
[03:19.230] Won't be back for many a day
[03:23.230] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[03:27.230] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[03:38.080] Down the bay where the nights are gay
[03:41.900] And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
[03:45.930] I took a trip on a sailing ship
[03:48.720] And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[03:53.460] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[03:59.160] Won't be back for many a day
[04:03.200] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[04:08.150] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[04:13.460] sad to say I'm on my way
[04:18.160] Won't be back for many a day
[04:22.200] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[04:26.150] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[04:32.460] sad to say I'm on my way
[04:38.160] Won't be back for many a day
[04:43.200] My heart is down, my head is turning around
[04:47.150] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
