Harry Belafonte - Kingston Market lyrics

rate me

Have you ever seen a rainbow<br />

Or a garden blooming bright<br />

Heard the shuffle of a thousand feet<br />

And drums from morning 'til night?<br />

<br />

Come we go down, come we go down<br />

Come we go down to Kingston market<br />

Come we go down, come we go down<br />

Down to Kingston market<br />

<br />

Get your tamarind and sour sop, <br />

Mangoes and casaba, <br />

Bread fruit okra pigeon peas, <br />

Curry goat and guava<br />

<br />

Come we go down, come we go down<br />

Come we go down to Kingston market<br />

Come we go down, come we go down<br />

Down to Kingston market<br />

<br />

Do you know a brown skin maiden<br />

With sunshine in her eyes?<br />

Heard the swallow and the humming bird<br />

Sing happy as she goes by?<br />

<br />

Come we go down, come we go down<br />

Come we go down to Kingston market<br />

Come we go down, come we go down<br />

Down to Kingston market<br />

<br />

Have you seen the ghost of Morgan<br />

Or heard a tale you hadn't ought to?<br />

Have you welcomed the coming dawn<br />

With a rum an' cocoanut water<br />

<br />

Come we go down, come we go down<br />

Come we go down to Kingston market<br />

Come we go down, come we go down<br />

Down to Kingston market</
