Chorus:
Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway
to and fro
I must declare my heart is
there
Though I have been from Maine
to Mexico
Chorus:
Still I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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
"Yeah, Robert G."
Down at the market you can
hear
Ladies cry out while on their
heads they bear
Ackev rice, salt fish are
nice
Oh the rum is fine anytime
of year
Chorus:
Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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 way where the nights
are gay
And the sun shines daily on
the mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing
ship
But when I reached Jamaica
I made her stop
Chorus:
Now I'm sad to say
I'm on my way (on my way)
I 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
I had to leave a little girl
in Kingston town
I had to leave a little girl
in Kingston town
"On my way Harry. Holy cow. I don't know!"
