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
TURNIN' AROUND
I HAD TO LEAVE
A LITTLE GIRL
IN KINGSTON TOWN
SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER
EVERYWHERE
AND THE DANCING GIRLS
SWAYING 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
TURNIN' AROUND
I HAD TO LEAVE
A 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
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
TURNIN' 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 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
TURNIN' AROUND
I HAD TO LEAVE
A 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
TURNIN' AROUND
I HAD TO LEAVE
A LITTLE GIRL
IN KINGSTON TOWN
