[00:09.230]Down the way where the nights are gay
[00:11.510]And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
[00:15.900]I took a trip on a sailing ship
[00:18.570]But when i reached jamaica i made her stop
[00:22.210]Now i'm sad to say

[00:42.960]Sounds of laughter everywhere
[00:45.960]And the dancing girls sway to and fro
[00:50.660]I must declare my heart is there
[00:53.530]Though i have been from maine to mexico
[00:57.100]Still i'm sad to say
[00:58.990]I'm on my way (on my way)
