Lyrics

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
Me heart is down, me head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
Down by the market you can hear
Lady cry out while on their heads they fell
Ackee rice or fish on ice
And the rum is fine any time of year
And I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
Me heart is down, me head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare that my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
And I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
Me heart is down, me head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
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
Me heart is down, me head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town
Oh, leave a little girl in Kingston Town
(Leave a little girl in Kingston Town)
Leave a little girl in Kingston Town
(Leave a little girl in Kingston Town)
Leave a little girl in Kingston Town
(Leave a little girl)
Leave a little girl
