Down the way where the lights are gay And the sun shines brightly on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reach Jamaica I make a stop I'm sorry to say I'm on my way I won't be back for many days My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave my letter and things to do Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls swinging to and fro I must declare my heart is there Although I've been from Maine to Mexico But I'm sorry to say I'm on my way I won't be back for many days My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave my letter and things to do I'm sorry to say I'm on my way I won't be back for many days
