Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily 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
Won't be back for many a day

My heart is down, my head is turnin' around
I had to leave a little girl down in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro

I must declare that my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

But I'm sad to say I'~m on my way
Won't be back for many a day

My heart is down, my head is turnin' around
I had to leave a little girl down in Kingston town

Down the markets where you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear

`A~k~ey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine a~ny time of year

But I'm sad to say I'~m on my way
Won't be back for many a day

My heart is down, my head is turnin' around
I had to leave a little girl down in Kingston town

My heart is down, my head is turnin' around
I had to leave a little girl down in Kingston town.
