4/4 | d - D u - u - u |
1 2 & & &
[C] Down the way where the [F] nights are gay
And the [G7] sun shines daily on the [C] mountain top
[C] I took a trip on a [F] sailing ship
And when I [G7] reached Jamaica I [C] made a stop
Chorus
But I'm [C] sad to say, I'm [Dm] on my way
[G7] Won't be back for [C] many a day
My [C] heart is down my head is [Dm] turning around
I had to [G7] leave a little girl in [C] Kingston town [C]
[C] Down at the market [F] you can hear
Ladies [G7] cry out while on their [C] heads they bear
[C] Akee rice salt [F] fish are nice
And the [G7] rum is fine any [C] time of year
Chorus
But I'm [C] sad to say, I'm [Dm] on my way
[G7] Won't be back for [C] many a day
My [C] heart is down my head is [Dm] turning around
I had to [G7] leave a little girl in [C] Kingston town [C]
[C] Sounds of laughter [F] everywhere
And the [G7] dancing girls swaying [C] to and fro
[C] I must declare my [F] heart is there
Though I've [G7] been from Maine to [C] Mexico
Chorus
But I'm [C] sad to say, I'm [Dm] on my way
[G7] Won't be back for [C] many a day
My [C] heart is down my head is [Dm] turning around
I had to [G7] leave a little girl in [C] Kingston town [C]
[C] Down the way where the [F] nights are gay
And the [G7] sun shines daily on the [C] mountain top
[C] I took a trip on a [F] sailing ship
And when I [G7] reached Jamaica I [C] made a stop
