Down the way where the nights are gay And the sun shines gaily 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 turning around I had to leave my little girl in Kingston town 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 to leave my little girl in Kingston town * Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear Akee, rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine any time of year repeat * Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls sway to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico Songtexte repeat * Down the way where the nights are gay And the sun shines gaily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop repeat * Aus Songtexte Mania
