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' cocoanut 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
