Lyrics

[00:18.62] Down the way where the nights are gay
[00:21.88] And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
[00:26.22]
[00:27.37] I took a trip on a sailing ship
[00:30.66] And when I reached jamaica I made a stop
[00:35.22] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[00:41.05] Won't be back for many a day
[00:44.70] My heart is down my head is turning around
[00:48.76] I had to leave a little girl in kingston town
[00:53.11]
[00:56.48] Sounds of laughter everywhere
[00:59.99] And the dancing girls sway to and fro
[01:05.67] I must declare my heart is there
[01:08.99] Though I've been from maine to mexico
[01:13.48] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[01:19.05] Won't be back for many a day
[01:23.08] My heart is down my head is turning around
[01:27.11] I had to leave a little girl in kingston town
[01:31.54]
[01:53.12] Down the market you can hear
[01:56.23] Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
[02:01.50]
[02:02.05] Akey rice salt fish are nice
[02:05.53] And the rum is fine any time of year
[02:09.69] But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
[02:15.19] Won't be back for many a day
[02:19.31] My heart is down my head is turning around
[02:23.23] I had to leave a little girl in kingston town
[02:28.07] My heart is down my head is turning around
[02:32.09] I had to leave a little girl in kingston town
[02:37.12] My heart is down my head is turning around
[02:41.04] I had to leave a little girl in kingston town
[02:45.92] My heart is down my head is turning around
[02:50.25] I had to leave a little girl in kingston town
