Kingstontown
Pagina 488 • Engelstalige liederen
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.
