Down the bay 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 had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
`Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Well, come on baby let's go downtown
Run, jump, kid around
I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Well, come on baby I love you so
I will never, never let you go
Come on baby will you treat me nice
Please don't put my love on ice.
I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Come and take me by the hand
Tell me I'm your lover man
Well have fun, just we two
You for me, me for you, oh-oh
Well, come on baby I love you so
I will never, never let you go
Come on baby will you treat me nice
Please don't put my love on ice.
I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Come and take me by the hand
Tell me I'm your lover man
You for me, me for you,
Well have fun, oh, oh, oh
I love you baby and I want you to be my girl
Well I love you baby, love you baby
Love you baby, I love you baby
And I love you baby and I want you to be my girl.
