Kingston Market Lyrics

Kingston Market - Harry Belafonte

...

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 cassava

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?

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 and cold 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

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

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
