Down the bay 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 turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear 'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine any time of year
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
