Jamaica

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 reachedJamaica 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 turning around
I had toleave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart isthere
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 isturning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear`Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year

But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
Myheart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sunshines 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 myway
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sad to sayI'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
