(Writer Irving Bergie aka Lord Burgess)      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 spinning around   I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.      Sounds of laughter, everywhere   And the dancing girls swing to and fro   I must declare 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 spinning around    I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.      --- Instrumental ---      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 good any 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 spinning around   I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town      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 spinning around   I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town...
