Now that's a dedication to all my friends in the Antilles, man
I'm smoking my spliff and I'm dedicating this to
A man like Fifty, a man like Tenor B
Big up yourself, my youth
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 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 Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though 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 have to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackee rice and the salt fish are nice
And the rhum is fine any time of year
That's why 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 Kingston town
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 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 Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though 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 have to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackee rice and the salt fish are nice
And the rhum is fine any time of year
That's why 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 Kingston town
Jam down, jam down, jam down, jam down
In France we say Jamaïque, there they say jam down
One day you take the plane man for Kingston town
You'll see keyboards chilling out uptown
But if you want to have a blast you have to go downtown
The weed is dope, the girls are hot and the music is the best
And if you play the bad guys, it will be your last round
I saw New York but I chose Jam Down
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 Kingston town
