Kingstontown
- Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
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 have to leave a little girl in Kingstontown.
- Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swing to and fro
I must declare that my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.
- Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Baskets rice, all fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time I hear.
- Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop.
