Kingston Girl
Longing for Home: Marty Robbins' Ode to Kingston Love
Lyrics
Just another night and day
Expressing the mundane passage of time.
Then I'll see Kingston Bay
Anticipation of reaching Kingston Bay.
And when I see Kingston Bay
Emphasizing the significance of Kingston Bay.
I'll see my Kingston woman
Anticipation and connection with a woman from Kingston.
I'll see my Kingston girl
Reiteration of the connection with a woman from Kingston.
I work on boat that sails the sea
Describing employment on a sea-going boat.
Kingston woman waits for me
Highlighting the woman in Kingston waiting for the speaker.
Waits for me to see the world
Expressing the desire to show the world to the Kingston woman.
I want my Kingston woman
Reiteration of the longing for the Kingston woman.
I want my Kingston girl
Repetition of the desire for the woman from Kingston.
I wish I never leave my home
Expressing regret about leaving home.
Kingston Town where I belong
Emphasis on Kingston Town as the speaker's place of belonging.
Kingston girl who loves me so
Acknowledging the love of a Kingston girl.
The one I hurt when I go
Admitting to causing pain to the Kingston girl by leaving.
This was a long, long time ago
Referring to the past, indicating the enduring impact.
Soon we walk on golden sand
Expressing a vision of a future together on golden sand.
Kingston woman hold my hand
Desiring physical connection, asking for the woman's hand.
When the moon is shining bright
Setting a romantic scene under a bright moon.
I'll kiss my Kingston woman
Expressing the intent to kiss the Kingston woman.
I'll kiss my Kingston girl
Reiteration of the desire to kiss the Kingston girl.
Just another night and day
Repetition of the cycle of night and day.
Then I'll see Kingston Bay
Anticipation of returning to Kingston Bay.
And when I see Kingston Bay
Emphasizing the significance of Kingston Bay once again.
I'll see my Kingston woman
Anticipation and connection with the woman from Kingston, likely reflecting a cyclical nature.
I'll see my Kingston girl
Reiteration of the connection with the woman from Kingston.
