Kingston Market

Performer:Harry Belafonte
Arranger :Irving Burgie

Have you ever seen a rainbow
Or a garden blooming bright
Heard the shuffle of a thousand feet
Drums from morning till 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

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
