Have you ever seen a rainbow
|
Or a garden blooming bright
|
Heard the shuffle of a thousand feet
|
And drums from morning 'til night?
|
|
Come we go down, come we go down
|
Come we go down to Kingston market
|
Come we go down, come we go down
|
Down to Kingston market
|
|
Get your tamarind and sour sop,
|
Mangoes and casaba,
|
Bread fruit okra pigeon peas,
|
Curry goat and guava
|
|
Come we go down, come we go down
|
Come we go down to Kingston market
|
Come we go down, come we go down
|
Down to Kingston market
|
|
Do you know a brown skin maiden
|
With sunshine in her eyes?
|
Heard the swallow and the humming bird
|
Sing happy as she goes by?
|
|
Come we go down, come we go down
|
Come we go down to Kingston market
|
Come we go down, come we go down
|
Down to Kingston market
|
|
Have you seen the ghost of Morgan
|
Or heard a tale you hadn't ought to?
|
Have you welcomed the coming dawn
|
With a rum an' coconut water
|
|
Come we go down, come we go down
|
Come we go down to Kingston market
|
Come we go down, come we go down
|
Down to Kingston market
|
