Verse:
C         C/G F
Down the way where the nights are gay
    G            C       C/G
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
C       C/G F
I took a trip on a sailing ship
      G        C       C/G
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

Chorus:
C       C/G Dm
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
G       C        C/G
Won't be back for many a day
C       C/G Dm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
G                C       C/G
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

C C/G

Verse:
C       C/G F
Down at the market you can hear
G               C        C/G
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
C      C/G F
'Akey' rice and salt fish are nice
    G        C       C/G
And the rum is fine any time of year

Chorus:
C       C/G Dm
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
G       C        C/G
Won't be back for many a day
C       C/G Dm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
G                C       C/G
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

C C/G

Verse:
C      C/G  F
Sounds of laughter everywhere
    G           C     C/G
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
C      C/G F
I must declare my heart is there
G               C    C/G
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

Chorus:
C       C/G Dm
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
G       C        C/G
Won't be back for many a day
C       C/G Dm
My heart is down, my head is turning around
G                C       C/G
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
