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.
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 a little girl in Kingston town.
