Kingston Market

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 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

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
