Lyrics

[00:11.64] Down the bay where the nights are gay
[00:14.50] And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
[00:18.31] I took a trip on a sailing ship
[00:21.93] And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[00:26.49] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[00:30.67] Won't be back for many a day
[00:34.60] My heart is down' my head is turning around
[00:38.90] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[00:46.08]
[01:09.91] Sounds of laughter everywhere
[01:23.76] And the dancing girls sway to and fro
[01:29.06] I must declare my heart is there
[01:33.37] Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
[01:37.77] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[01:42.01] Won't be back for many a day
[01:46.13] My heart is down' my head is turning around
[01:49.56] I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
[01:56.05]
[02:19.13] Down the market you can hear
