Down the way 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 reach 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
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare, my heart is there
Tho' 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 turning 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
Ackey 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 turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
We zetten koers naar 'n ver vreemd land
Waar de gouden zon boven de bergen staat,
Ik zie wel veel, maar mijn hart doet pijn
Als ik Jamaica voor een tijd verlaat…..!
Ik ben zo alleen, zo heel alleen
Want ik mis iets moois om me heen
Mijn hart dat huilt, ik voel mij somber en down
Ik liet mijn meisje achter ginds, in Kingston-town
In elke havenstad lopen weer
Mooie meisjes met hun koopwaar op en neer
Het zijn bananen 't is vis en rijst
Maar ook de rum smaakt dikwijls nog naar meer
Er is plezier op de vaste wal
Want de meisjes dansen er tot middernacht
Al is Jamaica ook nog zo ver
Ik heb alleen nog mar aan jou gedacht
