And the sun shines daily on the mountain's top
My heart is down, my head is burning around
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Won't be back for many a day
Sad to say, I'm on my way
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
And I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Sad to say, I'm on my way
My heart is down, my head is burning around
Down the way where the nights are gay
Sounds of laughter every where
I must declare my head is there
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is burning around
Won't be back for many a day
Sad to say, I'm on my way
Sad to say, I'm on my way
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
My heart is down, my head is burning around
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
My heart is down, my head is burning around
Won't be back for many a day
Won't be back for many a day
I took a trip on a sailing ship
Won't be back for many a day
Won't be back for many a day
Though I been from Maine to Mexico
My heart is down, my head is burning around
And the dancing girl swinging two and fro
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is burning around
My heart is down, my head is burning around
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
Sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
Sad to say, I'm on my way
My heart is down, my head is burning around
My heart is down, my head is burning around
Sad to say, I'm on my way
Down at the market you can hear
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
My heart is down, my head is burning around
Sad to say, I'm on my way
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
My heart is down, my head is burning around
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
My heart is down, my head is burning around
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
Akkisai sort fish are nice
My heart is down, my head is burning around
Won't be back for many a day
I'm really sad to say, I'm on my way
And the rum are fine every time a year
My heart is down, my head is burning around
Sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
Won't be back for many a day
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
I'm really sad
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
My heart is down, my head is burning around
Won't be back for many a day
I took a trip on a sailing ship
Sad to say, I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
I've had to leave a little girl in the Kingston town
Won't be back for many a day
